During the WHUS summer schedule, Amy has sole production responsibility for Bluegrass Cafe as I focus on Red Rooster Party with Marti. I expect this will just be a summer shift, and I will return to the usual rotation of Bluegrass Cafe during the fall schedule. That said, today was the first show of the summer schedule and Amy was away, so my appearance was as a fill-in host, which combined with Red Rooster Party made it a five-hour day on the air for me.
There was some great bluegrass though, starting with a trio of new recordings of songs from the pens of Tom T. and Dixie Hall by such Cafe favorites as Big Country Bluegrass and The Spinney Brothers.
Also, a couple of weeks ago we introduced new music from Low Gap NC native Mickey Galyean & Cullen's Bridge, and we continued bringing music from that excellent disc to our listeners this week.
Dale Pyatt's song about Secretariat was appropriate for the day after the Preakness, and Rebecca Frazier's new solo effort made its first appearance on the show.
Rounding out the new music was material from The Gibson Brothers, Dailey & Vincent, Marty Raybon, Hammertowne, and The Boxcars.
We were still remembering George Jones when we played one of the last songs he recorded on a tribute project for Dr. Ralph Stanley.The Heritage Corner was loaded with listener requests for first generation banjo instrumentals, so we played a cross-section from Earl, Don, Don, and Ralph.
Amy will be bringing you the banjos and fiddles of Bluegrass Cafe for most of the rest of the summer, so you know bluegrass is in good hands. And if you are interested in where this music came from, try out Red Rooster Party 2-4pm just before Bluegrass Cafe.
