TURN YOUR RADIO ON...

OR YOUR COMPUTER!



Mom and Dad's AM Radio from Yesteryear set on WSM 650

Barely visible on the bottom left panel is RCA Victor.

The little light that lights the dial still works!

      "TURN YOUR RADIO ON" (with apologies to Albert E. Brumley for borrowing his inspiring song, and with further apologies to folks who covered the song through the years, like John Hartford, Ray Stevens, the Statler Brothers, and more.), or maybe "TURN YOUR COMPUTER ON" to catch some great bluegrass  from right out of Bell Buckle, Tennessee.

     You do know where Bell Buckle is, don't you? Does the Webb School ring a bell? Or the Moon Pie Festival? We Southerners know that a Moon Pie is mighty good eatin', especially when paired with a cold Royal Crown Cola ("RC" to us). That's a Southern snack that is sure to please, especially if you can find an RC these days.

     But, we digress...We are here to proclaim the merits of BELL BUCKLE RADIO and VALERIE SMITH, bluegrass artist from right here in Tennessee. Here is how to find Bell Buckle Radio and also Valerie Smith on your computer: http://www.bellbuckleradio.com and www.valeriesmith.net 

 

Can you spot the Big Horn Sheep we saw in Glacier National Park?

     Valerie has rounded up some great bluegrass DJ's and folks who have their own internet shows and she's got a lineup all day long and all week long that's sure to please. It's 24/7 and hosted on Live365. Just go online and start listening to some of your favorite bluegrass music. We had to turn it off to do this blog, but we're headed back to Bell Buckle Radio soon's we're done here! Check for schedule and time changes periodically. All times shown are Central Time.
