Here's a little excerpt from my XM Satellite Radio show "The Grand Old Time Machine" to give you an idea of what we do on there. This is an edited 3 minute version of the 30 minute show and the Cherryholmes family is my guest this week. The full show can be heard this Friday on XM RADIO Channel 14 - Bluegrass Junction - at 5 PM Eastern then again Saturday night at 12. You can get a free 3 day pass at XMRADIO.com to listen to it if you're not a subscriber. We really have a blast every week.
In reference to the song you played by the Bankester family - we had them sing at our church in January and they are GREAT! We would love to hear more from them. Their story is very interesting.
They also sing local festivals and every year at Silver Dollar City. They will be opening for the ISAACs at our church on Sunday, April 26. They will also be playing at the IBMA Official Showcase - Nashville, TN Sept 28 - Oct 1. They were one of 13 groups picked to perform out of over 120 that auditioned.
They even sang the National Anthem at several SIU Saluki Basketball games this year!
The group consists of the Mom and Dad and their four daughters and the oldest daughter's husband.
Here is their website: http://www.bankesterfamily.com/
check them out and go hear them if you have a chance - you won't be disappointed!
