The Down Neck Gazette, captures the music, experiences and advice of American acoustic musicians on CD-ROM and sends them to subscribers on a quarterly basis. But just as the subject matter is nostalgic and unique, so is the manner in which the periodical's publishers get their stories. Every town in America's got someone with a guitar, banjo or fiddle, but you have to go out and find them. He and his father travel the U.S., stopping in at towns large and small along the way to see if they can find some master musicians. And find them they do.
Every musician has a story.
The Costellos film the musicians as they offer advice, talk about their lives, and play their blues, bluegrass or old-time country music. The video is then loaded onto a CD-ROM and sent to subscribers as The Down Neck Gazette, a quarterly publication focusing on all aspects of acoustic music.

Sundays between noon and 2 P.M. live on the Web. WCUW 91.3 FM - Richard H. Fox's excellent New Traditions show.
