Playlist - 3/22/2015

Hi Folks.

There were no preemptions on this show, so we celebrated by playing three hours of what we wanted to hear, and sampled some new music as well.
Monroe Crossing (MN)

We had three big ticket giveaways for upcoming concerts in the area, so we played music from Monroe Crossing (concert 3/27 in South Windsor CT), Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (concert 3/29 in Hartford), and Rhonda Vincent (concert 4/11 in Hamden CT) as we gave away tickets for those shows.  There will be more ticket giveaways coming, so stay tuned.

New music was represented by Johnny Warren & Charlie Cushman; The Gibson Brothers; Randall Hibbitts; Adkins & Loudermilk; Larry GillisRachel Burge & Blue Dawning; Breaking Grass; Mountain Faith; Volume Five; The Spinney Brothers; and Cody Shuler.  

Other goodies not yet off our recent-music list included songs from Larry Efaw and the Bluegrass Mountaineers; Alex Leach; The South Carolina Broadcasters; Michael Cleveland; Ben and Eric Marshall; Jackson & Stiltner; Junior Sisk; Windy Hill; Marteka and William; Windy Hill; and Tommy Edwards.

We loaded up the Heritage Corner and brought forth some legacy delights from Jimmy Martin; Bill Clifton; The Dillards; Bob Paisley; Don Stover; Tony Rice; early Karl Shiflett; Red Allen & Frank Wakefield; Monroe Fields, Jimmie Williams & Red Ellis; and The Lilly Brothers & Don Stover.

The delightful center of the Heritage Corner was filled by a complete "Basement Tape" segment of The Gillis Brothers recorded by Ray Davis in 1993.

We finished with a special treat.  Since October 2010 I have closed my shows with "Walking In A Dream" performed by the late Fred Etheridge with Mark Doyle and Nick Anderson.  For this show we played a solo piano version of the song performed by Mark Doyle just for Bluegrass Cafe.

Tune in next Sunday when Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring, and give away more concert tickets.
