Playlist - 9/6/2015 - Rick Spinney

Hi Folks.

Sunday's show was mostly classic bluegrass with several more recent numbers included.  The centerpiece of the show was a telephone visit from Rick Spinney of The Spinney Brothers.  

The Spinney Brothers will be making an appearance at a concert in Canterbury CT September 27th. We took this opportunity to find out what is going on with the Spinney Brothers, learned a bit about their most recent album which has had a track hit number one on one of the charts, and what it is like to be a traveling musician in the US while living in Nova Scotia, Canada.  Come out and support great live bluegrass music in Eastern Connecticut on the 27th!


From the Heritage Corner, pretty much most of the show applied, but we did have some special rarities in the form of both sides of two 45s -- one of The Brewster Brothers and the other from a daughter of J. E. Mainer, Mary Mainer.

Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring next week, so be sure to tune in!
