He has had 7 Grammy nominations - with two wins- one for the 2002 collaboration with Ralph Stanley entitled "Lost in the Lonesome Pines" and another for his 2007 " Bluegrass Diaries" release. Also, music from Trampled by Turtles, Jason Isbell (who just rocked ODU's Chartway Arena last week..), The Seldom Scene, Larry Sparks, and plenty of others. Your Friday night/early Saturday morning just got a little more Americana with The Best of Pickin. Tune in- 11pm-1AM here on 89.5

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
