WAMU is home of Ray Davis, the voice of DC bluegrass. WAMU used to play bluegrass in prime time. Now they talk on the main station and play bluegrass on their alternate channels. The alternate channels are hard to get in Frederick but you can catch snippets of banjo if you position the antenna and the silverware just right. Web streaming works if you register and log in.
