Music From the Homeplace of Bluegrass – Growing up in bluegrass, Fred Bartenstein had the privilege of knowing and working with virtually all of the music's first generation. The editor of Muleskinner News from 1969-1974, he has also been a musician, festival MC and talent director, composer, record producer, compiler of the first bluegrass market research, founder of a regional association, and a lifelong fan.
He is now the producer and presenter of "Banks of the Ohio: Music From the Homeplace of Bluegrass," a weekly program on the history of bluegrass music, for the International Bluegrass Music Museum in Owensboro, Kentucky.
