8:45 PM, an interview with the king of dobro players, Jerry Douglas, best known for playing in Allison Krauss’ band. But he is on 1,600 albums, and that’s a conservative count.
9:30 PM, an interview with Peter Bush, Fairfield County Top 40 DJ (“The Fox”) and classic car expert who’s the MC at Caffeine and Carburetors, the informal—but very big—old car get-together in New Canaan.
10:30 PM, Michael Mugrage and Diane Scanlon. Diane got her start in Bridgeport as part of the Rick McDonald Group. Her songs have been recorded by Eva Cassidy, Vince Gill, Tramaine Hawkins, Darlene Love, Laura Branigan and others. Michael Mugrage is also a songwriter, a musical director for Ronnie Spector, and a former member of Orleans. He wrote songs for Smokey Robinson, Chaka Khan, Average White Band and ABC’s Good Morning America. Together, they form White Feather Music Production.
