In a former life I was a newspaper reporter. The first part of that life was spent about an hour away in Owen County. Though it’s really only about 52 miles away from my hometown, it seemed like a world away.

While I only lived in Owenton for about a year I met a lot of wonderful people. Being one of the two-person news team for the entire county, I got around.

One of the articles I wrote was about a man named John Harrod. He just won Folks Heritage Award and I wrote an article about him and his work. Now he’s featured in Rhythm of my Soul: Kentucky Roots Music, airing this Tuesday.

 John is an extremely nice man who welcome me into his home, played fiddle for me and showed me some of his collection of bluegrass musicians’ recordings. I’m sure he’ll come across the same on this program.Be sure to tune in to Rhythm of my Soul: Kentucky Roots Music , June 12 at 10 p.m. on CET.-Katie
