Falls in full swing here in the great state of Tennessee…which means Christmas is only 2-months away…just a hint to get you to check out our Country Store…now's the perfect time to buy a BHTV ball cap or a BHTV denim shirt. Well, I'm supposed to tell you about our upcoming programming…here we go…






...we have received a great response from the archival footage of the Stan Hitchcock Show from the Ozarks that has been featured on Heart to Heart Classics and we will continue that this month. This week's show features Vern Gosdin and next week, starting Oct. 13th, there is a special on Nat Stuckey.

IBMA
For the 2nd year running BlueHighways TV had a booth and a strong presence at the International Bluegrass Music Association conference held here in Nashville. Many of our fans stopped by and we thank you for your support and encouragement. We noticed a big difference from last year. The major question last year was "What is BlueHighways TV?", while this year nearly everyone stopping by the booth said "We watch BlueHighways TV"! Thanks again!

Reno Story
From Tokyo to America
In my travels I sometimes find myself in a wonderful position to hear a great story and, sometimes, be a part of the situation that brought this story together. This was the case when a gentleman and his wife made a trip from Tokyo, Japan to Bean Blossom, IN to bring me something that was dear to his heart. {read more}

In an effort to actually prove "we were there" I practice the custom of posing people in front of the landmarks we visit. It is silly when I think about it, but as I get older it is a reminder of where I traveled and with whom! {read more}
