New on the net: 'Lonesome Highway - bluegrass and beyond'

Ronnie Norton of Lonesome Highway magazine, and ace photographer to the Irish bluegrass and old-time scene, is presenting a new two-hour radio show, 'Lonesome Highway - bluegrass and beyond', on the internet radio station CMR Nashville. Beginning on Friday 12 January, the show goes out live every Friday from 4.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. with repeats through the night, and then again on Sunday from 10.00 a.m. to 12.00 noon.

CMR Nashville broadcasts 24/7 from studios in Nashville, London, Ireland, and soon in Australia.With facilities including daily news updates and 'The Ranch' forum, the station sets out to be 'your one-stop site for all you will ever need as a country fan including the best mix of country music on line'. The site has had in excess of 100,000 hits in the first few weeks of operation.

Ronnie adds: 'Please stress the "and beyond" element in the title, otherwise the bluegrass police will pull me over for a major highway offence. Bluegrass content should average 90 per cent, with some country cousins getting a look in. It's to my taste and should draw a wider audience.'
