"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/20/2015

On the Sunday before Christmas, you would expect to hear a lot of Christmas music during our Bluegrass Cafe, wouldn't you?  In the case of today's show, you wouldn't be wrong!  We pulled a whole lot of Bluegrass Christmas music out to share on Sunday, and we ended up playing a bunch of it.  Still, we left time to play some new music from the wonderful new recording by Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass -- "Weary River," was recently released on Patuxent Music.  Fabulous!  

If that wasn't enough fun for one program, we included a little bit of a "salute" to the sometimes-sad/all-the-time delightful Christmas music of Buck Owens, as well as a few songs from the Delmore Brothers' song catalog (Alton Delmore's birthdate was December 25, 1908) done up in a Bluegrass treatment. 

Hope you were entertained by our program today, and that you'll be sure to join Jim for the last 2015 edition of the show next Sunday!  I'll see you on the air again next year!  

Merry Christmas, everyone!
