"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/31/2014

On this last day of August of 2014, we started the show with a boatload of songs pertaining to the same subject:  work.  It's Labor Day weekend -- time to celebrate hard-working men and women...by taking a day off from work!  Sounds like a great deal, doesn't it?  Our songs of work came from a bunch of different performers including the Carter Family, Richard Bennett, Cherryholmes, Dailey & Vincent, Blue Highway, Shannon Slaughter, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, and IIIrd Tyme Out.  Happy Labor Day, everyone!

We featured a whole bunch of music from 2014 recordings, some of which were issued very recently.  This music came to us from performers including Laurie Lewis & Kathy Kallick, Nightflyer, Larry Sparks, Breaking Grass, Bill Emerson & Sweet Dixie, Shawn Lane, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, James King, the Spinney Brothers, Crowe, Lawson & Williams, the Roys, Balsam Range, and the Seldom Scene.

Our air schedule at WHUS changes three times during the year, and the changeover to the Fall schedule took place this last week.  Click here to see the Fall schedule for WHUS 91.7 FM.  New this semester, the station has also launched a second broadcast webstream, and some of the programs you've grown used to hearing on the radio have moved to that location.  For instance, if if you'd like to listen to James & Cathy Ward's "Bluegrass Rules" program, you will only find it now on WHUS2 on Tuesdays from 2-4PM.  To get to WHUS2, just visit www.WHUS.org, and click on the button that reads, "WHUS2."  

Hope everyone has a fabulous week!  Be sure to check out Jim in next Sunday's "Bluegrass Cafe," won't you?
