Tune in last night Friday for the Best of Pickin and the new compilation cd " Silver Bullet Bluegrass." The cd pays tribute to Bob Seeger with covers of some of his best known tunes, including Main Street, Turn the Page, and Night Moves (which, whenever I hear it- takes me back to my senior year at Norview High). Americana Artists like Jeff Parker, Bo Bice, Tim Stafford, and Larry Cordle are all featured. Sing along to some Seeger Tunes done Bluegrass style, on The Best of Pickin. Friday night at 11 on WHRV.

After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
