John & The Bluegrass Gospel Hour

I am here for Friends

About Me

I host my very own bluegrass radio show in Vienna, WV which is in the Mid Ohio Valley area, between Parkersburg, WV and Marietta OH along the banks of the Ohio River. We are locally on 96.1 FM and 98.1 FM and around the world at www.praisefm.net . The station is called Praise FM and I have past shows archived on my personal website at www.smokingbluegrass.com . If you play gospel bluegrass I would love to play your music on my show. Just send me a note and I'll get it on the air.My show is every Saturday and Sunday mornings at 3 AM in the east and Midnight in the west and again on every Saturday and Sunday nights at 10 PM in the east and 7 PM in the west.We are in a small market for our radio station but with my shows archived on my personal website I am getting between 1,000 and 1,5000 visitors a day to hear my show. God has blessed me with a small tool to help spread the message of Jesus Christ.Our website is a great place to tune in to hear the shows. The sound is cd quality and is a great way to make an hour fly by at work, lol!If you have a website and would like to trade links, I'd love to add you to my website. You can visit my links page on www.smokingbluegrass.com . Look over it and if you would like to trade links, I would love to help you get the word out about your site and would love to be apart of your site to help spread the word about mine.We attend Fellowship Baptist Church in Vienna, WV and have found a great church to call home. We have a pastor who loves teaching others about God and is not afraid to preach what the Bible says. But we do miss all our friends back home at Oakwood Baptist Church in Chickamauga, GA.

All the songs I play on the Bluegrass Gospel Hour comes from my personal library. There are alot of people who have helped me and without their generosity I wouldn't have half of the songs I do to play for you. I want to give a special thank you to:
