 “We’re very pleased that Ophelia was the # 1 song on Sirius XM radio’s Bluegrass Junction for this month. We appreciate the fact that dedicated D.J.’s has had done a lion’s share to popularize bluegrass music in America and around the world. When I grew up in the Washington DC area, there was no bluegrass music. I learned about it from a neighbor who owned a few Bill Monroe records. Thank you D.J.’s for presenting our music to America and the world. Watch for our new album on 615 Hideaway Records coming soon. – Bill Emerson
