This year, 2020, we're going to have a whole year of bad puns about vision.       

I can see it clearly.

 

Ok, so the show is famous for telling dumb 'dad' jokes and groaners.  I'd have stopped doing it years ago except people keep writing and saying they love it.    There are thousands of them here on this site - all g-rated and family friendly,     you could tell them all to your granny.    Well ok she'll probably clock you with a pan or a wooden spoon before you get to the end but you could IN THEORY!    There's a goodly selection of one liners in the "sayings" section and the rest are all in categories so you can steal the ones you want easily.      

They are sitting on the couch, in front of the tv, holding hands, feeling loving and comfortable with each other's company, as they have for a long time now. Each with a glass of champagne in their hands. The kids are safely tucked up in bed asleep. He smiles that smile that attracted her to him in the first place all those years ago, and holds up his glass - a clink as they touch the glasses together in a quiet toast to each other. Lovingly he says to her, "Darling, is there anything you want to say to me, before the football season starts?"

Plenty more jokes where that came from right here ....

Random one liner...

PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE. The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again

In our exclusive statistics, looking back over the last 100 shows,    the most played song is   The Barber's Fiddle,  the 2020 Collaborative Recording of the Year,  from Becky Buller's Distance & Time album, followed closely by Irene Kelley's Bluegrass Radio and Lily Dale  (Junior Sisk).   

The most played project is a collection of the Atlanta Ga group Foxes & Fossils, I've labelled as "Single" because they dont have a collective name.   Following close behind is  Missy Armstrong's debut EP, My Remedy followed by Kristy Cox's Golden Guitar winning,  "No Headlights "  .

And of the 721 different artists played on the show in the last 100 shows   the number 1 played artist is Jerry Salley,  just ahead of Becky Buller who is tied for second place with the UK's outstanding Midnight Skyracer,  and a close third is the family band Williamson Branch.
Check out the whole list on our "Dawg's Hot 100" >> page.  

How to listen to the show - where and what times?   
The show goes to air in Sydney live for 5 hours,  beginning at 10pm Fridays,  Sydney time,  which is 8am US Eastern Daylight Savings Time and 12 noon GMT.     You can find the show by going to the station's web site at Hawkesbury Radio or via the TuneIn site.  They also have an app for mobile devices you can download from the App store or Google shop.  

There is also a re-broadcast several times a week in Washington DC on Bluegrasscountry.,org.  Currently the show times are 10am Sundays (US Eastern Time)  and 7pm Tuesdays (US Eastern time) 

On Music from Foggy Hollow you'll hear the latest bluegrass - many songs not even released yet.     

I publish the playlist on this site as the show progresses in Sydney.   You can find the current playlist in several ways,  including just click on the link above,  or go to the playlist archives and you can see what was played on any show all the way back to the first show this century!!       

It's not a commercial thing - we dont get any money out of it .   it's just done as a service because in many parts of the world, including Australia and New Zealand bluegrass is pretty hard to find in the stores.    Just click on a  song you like and in most cases you'll be taken to a web site where you can buy downloads or the physical CD.  It's usually the record label site or the artist's own web site. 

You can also use these links to tell the artists that you like the song and that you heard it on Music from Foggy Hollow.     You have no idea what a big boost that is to the artists and record labels - when listeners tell them they enjoyed the songs.
