There was much happening on the May 9th show. I had almost two extra hours because of some scheduling luck as the UCONN school year ended. Amy and I also had just come off of a wonderful live broadcast of the Spinney Brothers and David Peterson on WHUS the day before so we gave away some David Peterson CDs to some lucky listeners and played several of the songs performed live the day before by The Spinneys and David Peterson. To top it off, it was Mothers' Day, so I played some bluegrass mother songs throughout the show, but tried not to over do it because so many bluegrass mother songs are plum pitiful (an official bluegrass term possibly traceable to Ray Davis).
I debute
d the new album from the Rural Rhythm Christian label titled "Look To The Light - Songs of Faith from the Pen of Rick Lang" that features a Who's Who of great musicians performing Rick's songs. This album is a little different in concept from most that feature performing artists since the songwriter is the common thread (and does not perform here). This is a top notch recording worth a listen.
Thank you to all who called during the show to request music, win CDs, or to just express your enjoyment of the music. Those are always fun calls to take.
Tune in around 4pm Sunday when Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring.
