With July 4th fast approaching, I got an email from our old pal Wichita Rutherford, letting me know about something special he’s doing for the holiday. While the rest of us are outside enjoying a cookout and listening to our XM radio, he’ll be in the studio hosting a special July 4th marathon. His show The Grand Old Time Machine will run from Noon to 5 PM, EST.

He’ll be serving up a bunch of great bluegrass to go along with all those hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. And, he’ll have a whole bunch of special guests with him. Alison Krauss, Doc Watson, Darrell Scott, Mac Wiseman, John Paul Jones, Dan Tyminski, Sam Bush and loads of others will be making special appearances throughout the afternoon.

So be sure to tune in to XM Radio Channel 14 (Bluegrass Junction) on July 4th and let Wichita DJ your day!
