Attention Dixie Bee-Liner fans. Buddy Woodward, mandolinist and co-manager of the group, will be a guest this Friday (11/13) at 11:00 am (ET) on WFDU’s “Lonesome Pine RFD” heard on 89.1 FM in the New York City metro area or via live streaming on www.wfdu.fm. Buddy will join host Carol Beaugard to discuss the band’s sophomore release on Pinecastle, ‘Susanville’. Each of the album’s 19 songs is a vignette about different people traveling in different cars or trucks on highways in America, all headed to or from Susanville. It’s one of several bluegrass concept records the band’s been planning and the songs center around journeys and destinations.

Listeners within broadcast range can tune into 89.1 FM in the New York City metro area or online via live streaming on www.wfdu.fm. If you miss it, you can always catch it later by going to WFDU's web site for their Audio archives for the next two weeks. The show will be taped for later broadcast on WAMU’s ‘Bluegrass Country’ in Washington, D.C. Visit www.BluegrassCountry.org for broadcast times.
