I live in North-Central Illinois but late at night we pick up WSN quite well. I hadn't realized that the grand ol' station has rediscovered what a humongous vault of incandescent music they were hoarding like a dragon and it's golden treasure.

That noted, WSM has discovered, fairly recently I think, that modern acoustic bluegrass harbors some of the most talented singers and pickers in the whole world. The blends hearken to past masters while creating new aspects to bluegrass for young phenoms to excel within.

The station sometimes fades out--but then they fade right back in. Back in the 1950s I used to listen to WWVA in Wheeling, West Virginia from Chicago via long-distance AM radio like this. It sounded even better through the static---and it was even more of an achievement for our having to build antenna contraptions that pulled the sounds in better.

The bluegrass sounds and old-timey music being created TODAY by so many, to my ears, is 200% better than modern country music offerings that sounds like pop pap at best. In reality, it don't pass the pop-pap test at all.

Just one guys perspective. I'm really liking what WSM is doing. To Eddie Stubbs and all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
