"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/27/2014

Short summary of Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe:  there was LOTS of music from one of the newest announced members of the Country Music Hall of Fame; a special in-studio visit with a local Bluegrass impresario; and a few songs from newer Bluegrass recordings.  Were you with us?

So nice to see folks honored while they're still around to enjoy it --
congratulations to Country Music Hall of Famer, Mac Wiseman!

On April 22nd, it was announced that "The Voice With A Heart," Mac Wiseman will be one of the 2014 inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame.  This is an amazing honor for a true Bluegrass and Country Music legend, and is richly deserved.  To honor this extremely distinctive vocalist, we played several songs that Mac recorded with Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs when he was one of the original Foggy Mountain Boys in 1948, a couple of classic tracks from 1949 when Mac joined Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys, a few songs from Mac as a soloist, and a couple from a record Mac made in 1998 with two other Bluegrass legends:  Del McCoury and Doc Watson.  Big congratulations to Mac!  

We welcomed an in-studio visit with a "Colonel Buff-Orpington" commanding

Quite a cast of characters getting ready to entertain
at the Firebox on May 18th!

Dick Bowden's Flying Circus.  This is a big show coming up in the Bluegrass series of Sunday afternoon shows at the Firebox Restaurant, 539 Broad Street, Hartford CT, and is sure to feature a cast of talented characters that may be familiar faces to some in the New England/New York Bluegrass community.  If you're going to be in the Hartford area on May 18th, this may be a great show for you to check out.  

And, we still had time to share a few songs from newer projects from folks like James King, Dolly Parton, Dave Adkins, Blue Highway, the Seldom Scene, Darren Nicholson, and Feller & Hill.  We even included a couple of very brand-new recordings from projects by Danny Roberts (the Grascals mandolin player has a solo CD) and Bradford Lee Folk & the Bluegrass Playboys.  

Be sure to join Jim for next Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe beginning at 4PM, won't you?

Have a good week!
