Thursday afternoon’s edition of Talk of the Nation will include time with The Del McCoury Band. The show (talk/news format) airs each weekday on many National Public Radio affiliate stations at 3:00 p.m. (eastern).

The McCourys will appear during the Performance Chat segment on October 18, where they will pick and sing live in the NPR studio, and also chat with show host Neal Conan. They will offer songs from Ronnie McCoury’s new children’s bluegrass CD, Little Mo’ McCoury, and perhaps some band favorites as well.

The NPR signal is streamed live online if your NPR station does not carry Talk of the Nation and, should you miss Thursday’s show, the audio will be accessible on the NPR web site by 6:00 p.m. tomorrow evening (10/18), and archived indefinitely online.
