Anna Roberts-Gevalt, co-host of the Floyd Radio Show, started talking about one of the acts booked for the show’s second season, she stopped for a one-liner when the name Alice Gerrard came up. Gerrard, a bluegrass and old-time music hero, is booked for the radio show’s Dec. 8 gig at Floyd Country Store.
“You hire your heroes, and then you make them do really dumb things,” Roberts-Gevalt said.
To illustrate, she talked about a faux commercial she and co-host Elizabeth LaPrelle had luthier/guitarist Wayne Henderson do. It was for a “business” called Wayne’s Remedial Punctuation Service, and Henderson’s role was to provide guitar versions of semi-colons, commas and the like.
It’s that kind of a show, and season two starts on Saturday. Read more about that and a couple of other cool Saturday shows, and click on the jump link below to see season schedule through December. The season ends in May.
