 is a radio program that has been broadcast on FM Radio for more than 6 years. I grew up with the excitement, authentic creativity and refreshing message of change and renewal built in to this music from the 60's and 70's. My personal interest was highlighted when this music began to be broadcast in formats that were plastic, and that referred to the music of this era as 'oldies'.., or even, 'classic rock'. These venues ignored the cultural history wherein the sound was created, and forever embedded... Something needed to be done! As a volunteer at a successful, yet obscure, community FM station associated with National Public Radio, I learned how to create and share this program in a way that I thought reflected the audacious authenticity of this music. Hence,The Stone Age came into being, and grew into a series that stations find on Public Radio Exchange. There are now, 123 individual shows available to stations throughout this country. We are heard, regularly in California, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana-Wyoming. Many listeners webstream these programs via the internet, and then relate their queries, their concerns and their support through this website for this electric music from a long time ago...this music that will never die...the sound of The Stone Age. (Better When LOUD)
Thank You For Listening

 is a radio series dedicated to the healthy and living variety of Folk, and Roots Music developed by the various communities of North America. Since the time of mechanical recording devices invented in the last century, Roots-Americana music has developed many different styles heard on this Series. We hear Bluegrass, Mountain, Country Swing, Folk, Cajun as well as many other related styles including modern renditions of the traditional...These programs are one hour in length, and are available for radio stations to broadcast from Public Radio Exchange. Many listeners have gone to the Playlists to see what they have heard, and have contacted me on the internet, or by telephone. Roots Music has always been popular, and a vehicle for mostly acoustic musicians to interact with audiences mixing traditional means of performing with new ways of approaching their instruments. The rich cultural heritage we all share in North America provides me, as Producer, Engineer and Host, with many opportunities to present the recent, and historical music of quality performed ever since people took to their instruments to express personal and social realities. The Hayride also recognizes, and presents new music as this genre is continuing to develop in this century. I seek to provide a venue dedicated to the authenticity of this sound that is more than music that is sometimes commercially viable...Roots Music is also a living, cultural context that The Hayride Series explores and presents...Originally heard on KHSU-FM in California, this program was appreciated for including a variety of musical styles, as well as the spoken word, without an emphasis on 'history lessons', or long winded ruminations about the music often associated with roots music programs.
Thanks For Listening
