Green Mountain Bluegrass Hour
Welcome to this snowy December Edition of the Green Mountain Bluegrass Hour. I am DJ Moguls and I got a great mix of many of my favorite songs here to warm you up. Two from Vermont’s own Woodchuck’s Revenge. Grant Gordy, Joe Walsh and the Grascals are out on tour. Great learning opportunity in Ithaca NY with Grant Gordy & Joe Walsh. Check them out at the Winter Village Camp in Ithaca, NY with Darol Anger and Tony Trischka. I’ll start things off with a new favorite of mine, written and performed by Joe Walsh and Grant Gordy: A Stranger in Town.
