Ray Edlund has shared that his faithful companion Shady Grove has crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈 He was a fine friendly dog who served as silent co host to Ray for many years. I’ll be playing a whole bunch of Shady Groves on Sunday in his honor ❤️

Pig in a Pen founder Ray Edlund shared this photo he took of two musical giants (both in stature and in influence): Byron Berline and Chris Strachwitz. In the interview that will air during tomorrow’s program, Jerry Wicentowski and I reminisced about what an extraordinary man Byron Berline was, and how it’s hard to believe he’s gone. I can say the same for Mr. Chris, whom I have been privileged to know all my life.

Happy birthday to my dad, Eric Thompson!!! I was just listening to the D-18 song from Tony Rice and Norman Blake, a song that could have been written about my dad and his 1943 Martin D-28. Instagram won’t let me attach a clip of the song here, but you can check it out on YouTube! Happy Birthday Dad!!!
