Up first, we wanted to remember a couple of important birthdays: both of gentlemen who were born in 1937, just three days apart. Country Music Hall of Famer Bill Anderson (born November 1, 1937) is definitely NOT a Bluegrass performer or singer (despite the fact that he has recorded a "Bluegrass" album). Still, many of his songs -- both the older ones and newer ones that he continues to write today -- have been recorded in the Bluegrass world, so we shared a few of those from performers as varied as the Del McCoury Band, James King, the Osborne Brothers, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and the Johnson Mountain Boys.

| For my money, one of the best vocalists in all of Bluegrass -- Allen Mills. |
In addition to celebrating the birthdays of Bill Anderson and Allen Mills, we remembered the passing of Alex Campbell, a noted Bluegrass performer and promoter who died on October 24th at the age of 90. Mr. Campbell made a few different records with some notable Bluegrass performers, including Ted Lundy and his very own sister, Ola Belle Reed. While we played a couple of songs from Alex & Olabelle & the New River Boys, be sure to tune into Jim in the "Bluegrass Cafe" next week for more music from this Bluegrass pioneer.
Hope you enjoyed something you heard on the air on Sunday, and be sure to join Jim next week once more for another visit in the Bluegrass Cafe.
Enjoy the week!
