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.
In our exclusive statistics, looking back over the last 100 shows, the most played song is Chasing Rainbows, from Casey Penn's new album "One Step Away". This is followed closely by a four-way tie between Darren Beachley's Listen To The Radio, Chris Stapleton's Starting Over, Person Of The Year from Kristy Cox, and The Sun Is Going To Shine, by Dale Ann Bradley, on her "Kentucky For Me" album.
The most played project is the debut album of Jaelee Roberts called "Something You Didn't Count On" quite a long way ahead of Kristy Cox's "Shades of Blue" and "This Life We're Living" from Darin & Brooke Aldridge.
And of the 714 different artists played on the show in the last 100 shows, the number 1 played artist is The Lonesome River Band, ahead of Atlanta, Georgia based cover band Foxes & Fossils , followed by a two-way tie between Jaelee Roberts and perennial favourite, Becky Buller.

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.
Brought to you each Friday, 10pm to Saturday 3am on Hawkesbury Radio 89.9FM, broadcast over the internet on the legendary bluegrasscountry.org, in Washington DC and in Virginia on WNRV Bluegrass Radio 990AM and FM 97.3
We play the latest bluegrass, newgrass and acoustic country music from Australia and overseas. We frequently feature a new album each week, playing 4 - 8 tracks off the album during the show and often have interviews with bluegrass personalities or artists.
We welcome listener requests and comments. You can call the show on (02) 45 899 899 and request tunes, or comment about what you are hearing. We love hearing from listeners - it helps get through the long early morning hours. If you prefer you can email the show to request more information about something we've said or done during the show, or let us know about things the other listeners might be interested in.
