Subject: RE: RangerSteve w/banjo on the radio NOW
Oh boy, a thread about me and I didn't start it. I'm speechless. THanks for the compliments. The show is on every Saturday, and I'll be part of the cast at least through March, then I start working late shifts, so I'll be on the show only occasionally until November comes around, then I'll be back every week. But the show is still good without me.
For anyone coming into this thread late, the Heartlands Hayride is a live radio show with a studio audience in the style of old radio shows like the Old Dominion Barn Dance, the Renfro Valley Barn Dance, the Wheeling Jamboree, etc. The difference here is that the Hayride only has amateur musicians, (only one regular performer makes a living as a musician). The show features old-time country, bluegrass, and early country-western music. No one gets paid to perform. The show is broadcast from a small church in Sergentsville, NJ and the audience is the best I've ever played for.
If there are any country or bluegrass musicians in the area (Delaware Valley - NJ and Pa) who are interested in performing on the show, PM me and I'll put you in touch with the music director.
