This Week in the Shack

If you've seen the station page on Live365 in the last week, you might have noticed that the station is now also listed under Americana. I've been kicking around expanding the range of music I play for a while, and right now listener numbers are down quite a lot, so the number of people I'll potentially alienate is at a minimum. The Irregular Eighties Fridays will continue, and I'll still be playing blues, classic soul, funk, and gospel, but I'll be adding in a lot more Americana, new bluegrass, and jazz for the foreseeable future. Maybe other things, too - it all depends on what strikes my fancy at the time.

This week's program is all Americana, folk, and modern bluegrass. It's not a huge change, I think, from the direction some of my blues and local music sets have been wandering into.

As always, I hope you dig it.
