Down Yonder

"When the roll is called up there, I'll be down yonder."

For almost forty years, KDHX was a gem of a community radio station. Terry Moses and Naomi Soule started The Saturday Morning Bluegrass Show and hosted it for five years. When they left for a paying radio gig, I took over the show in October 1993, renaming it Down Yonder a few years later. I hosted the show until January 30, 2025, when the station ceased operations (long, sad story). A month later, Down Yonder debuted on TheRootsFM.org, a web station in St. Louis, where continues in its 11:00 am Saturday time slot.


During Down Yonder's time on KDHX, I did phone interviews with hundreds of musicians, both national and local. On many occasions, I hosted live performances in our studios. Below you'll find videos of some of those in-studio performances.

Live on Down Yonder

Talking Julia Belle ~ Hartford Fiddle Tunes

Five months after I started hosting Down Yonder, I had my first "famous musician" in the studio: John Hartford. John had been a musical hero of mine since I first saw him on The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. He would visit Down Yonder two more times before his death in 2001. I got to know his daughter, Katie Hartford Hogue, who looks after her father's legacy. When she was releasing the second volume of The John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project, Julia Belle, I was honored that she invited me to host a video of conversation with her and her co-producing partners, Megan Lynch Chowning and Sharon Gilchrist.
