there is a decent blugrass internet station....www.bluegrassradio.com they play a pretty good mix of styles, pure driving bluegrass, stringband...etc...but it does lean to traditional bluegrass.

Pandora. You need to borrow a good seed station from someone who has been running and dialing it in for awhile.

It's kind of funny. I make a new station on Pandora - say I call it JD Crowe or Roscoe Holkum. Then I start clicking, "I like it - I don't like it". After a while every station sounds the same - sort of a mix of 60's folk rock and bluegrass, with some Ramones thrown in. And I would wager that for each of us Pandora would come up with a unique play list for you and you alone filled with songs you don't really care for, but which represent your true affinities.

This is bluegrass type advice; you can do what you want to with it.

Hey Vinn.. Don't know what you are looking for but WPAQ radio in Mount Airy, NC broadcasts LIVE bluegrass, old-timey, early country music from 6am to 6pm on the internet. I love it as the DJ's are live and there are NO pre-recorded music programs at all. They do break each morn for some pre recorded Gospel for those who like some of that each day. ( I can take that or leave it ). They don't modify their programing any at all to appeal to the internet listeners... you get radio just like living in Mt. Airy. You never have any idea what you are going to hear except guarantee you won't hear the same thing over and over. They do take requests from the computer!
Check them out.

If you like good bluegrass Gospel music try WAMU radio out of Washington DC on Sunday morns 6 till 10. They also have an excellent "drive home" show each day with Ray Davis... again live from 3:00- 6:00. They have a lot of pre recorded music tho at other times.

http://sugarinthegourd.com/ would be my first recommendation, too.
Portland, Oregon's community supported radio station KBOO plays folk music
every morning from 5:30-7:00am PST and some of it is old time. They stream to
the web at http://kboo.fm/
