About the show
Bill Knowlton, who lives in Liverpool, is known as “Mr. Bluegrass of Central New York” and "The Colonel". He hosted the first all-bluegrass radio show in New York City in 1960. Knowlton arrived in Syracuse as a U.S. Air Force public affairs officer. In 1997, he was named “Broadcast Personality of the Year” by the International Bluegrass Music Association. He emcees at least 13 Bluegrass festivals every year and writes liner notes for bluegrass and old-time country music artists. Col. Knowlton has hosted the Bluegrass Ramble since January of 1973.
