When school is in session at UCONN, that means that the various sports teams are also playing. At WHUS, our Sports Department works hard to broadcast LOTS of sporting events during the school year, including not only the "biggies" of football and basketball, but also, Men's & Women's Soccer, as well as both Ice and Field Hockey during their respective seasons. Generally, the Sports folks are very good at telling us when one of our programs will be preempted for sports so that we can pass the information along to prospective listeners ahead of time. This past Sunday, though, a Men's Soccer preemption that was supposed to go from 1-3PM ended up happening from 2-4:15ish, instead. So, we got a late start, but still squeezed in a whole lot of music. Hope you don't feel "short-changed."
We featured a good bit of brand new music from quite a few performers, including music from the forthcoming third release from Balsam Range ("Trains I Missed" on Mountain Home), as well as duo Fred Carpenter & Tim May, and a Colorado band called the Blue Canyon Boys. The Boxcars are a new band of veterans with a new self-titled CD on Mountain Home, and they are good! That's not really surprising, though, when the band includes Adam Steffey on mandolin, Ron Stewart on banjo, John R. Bowman on the fiddle, Keith Garrett on the guitar, and Harold Nixon on the bass. No doubt you'll be hearing lots more from their fine debut recording in future weeks of the BG Cafe.
And, of course, we included tunes from practically-new CDs from Wayne Taylor & Appaloosa, Marty Marrone & Tangled Roots, Big Country Bluegrass, Rich In Tradition, and Volume Five.
Since Hank Williams was born on September 17, 1923, I couldn't resist putting together a few Hank tunes done in the BG style as a way of tribute. Is there any style of music in which a Hank Williams tune hasn't been covered? Maybe rap, but who knows?
Jim told you last week about a new program that hit the airwaves at WHUS just yesterday. James Ward and his mom, Cathy, debuted their program called, "Bluegrass Rules" on Monday -- be sure to join them every week from 3-4PM, if you can!
I'll join you once more this coming Sunday, so hope you'll be able to tune in for at least a few minutes...
Have a good week -
Amy
