We are all saddened by the passing of our good friend Dale Kennedy.  There are no words to fully describe what he meant to me, co-workers and this radio station.  He was a true friend in every sense of the word and will be missed.  We will air an encore Bluegrass in the Backwoods on Thursday (May 31) in his honor and memory.  He loved his listeners as much as making music and we will always be honored he chose to do this show on our station.
