Beginning at 4PM and for the next hour, we drew our playlist completely from members of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame. While it's always fun to play music from the "Founding Fathers" of Bluegrass, our purpose for playing these performers on Sunday was because at 5PM, we visited with Fred Bartenstein -- one of five nominees for Bluegrass Print/Media Person of the Year for his work on the book: The Bluegrass Hall of Fame Inductee Biographies, 1991-2014. Along with fellow nominee Gary Reid, Mr. Bartenstein worked on this delightfully presented, very informative resource about all of the members of the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame (located in the International Bluegrass Music Museum (IBMM) in Owensboro, Kentucky -- the closest city of any size to Bill Monroe's birthplace of Rosine, Kentucky). The book is an extension of profiles of the Hall of Famers that Mr. Bartenstein put together for the IBMM website (some found here), and was finally published in January 2015. If you are a person who enjoys Bluegrass and its history, you owe it to yourself to track down a copy of this book.
Beyond the Hall of Famers and our conversation with Mr. Bartenstein, we shared music from performers who will be in our listening area in the not-too-distant future, and a regular hodgepodge collection of songs.
Big thanks to Fred Bartenstein for joining us on Sunday afternoon! We sure hope you'll be certain to tune in once more next week when Jim joins you for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.
Enjoy the week!
