Re: Bluegrass and Sirius satallite radio
I listen to the Sirius bluegrass channel all the time. As a relative newcomer to bluegrass, I feel like I learned most of what I know about it from that station. Perhaps it is light on the traditional bluegrass, but without the Sirius channel I probably wouldn't have had the chance to hear any of it. I don't even begin to pretend I can tell traditional bluegrass from anything else they play, but I do know I like listening to it.
Satellite radio is one of those little luxuries I would never give up, with the variety of options it offers 24/7. I could spend all my time listening to the classic rock I have listened to for 40 years, and do that a lot, but the surprising thing that Sirius did for me was to allow me to be exposed to many other types of music, bluegrass included. I don't listen to any of the country stations (yet), but do spend a lot of time in the car tuned in to bluegrass junction.
