Red Allen & The Kentuckians Live On The Radio - 1966
On a brisk New York City Sunday morning in March of 1966, David Grisman
called his friend Pete Wernick, the youthful student host of WKCR's weekly
"Bluegrass Special" radio show and told him that Red Allen and his
Kentuckians (the band David had just joined) were in town and available
to play on his show. An hour or so later the Kentuckians (including Red
Allen on guitar, David Grisman on mandolin,
Porter Church on banjo and Bobby Diamond
on fiddle) showed up at the Columbia University station to play and talk
bluegrass for the next hour or so. Fortunately the show was recorded in
its entirety so we can all hear the music that was played that day.
