"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 1/17/2016

It was back to three hours of our Bluegrass Cafe on Sunday afternoon, so we made sure to fill it with lots of  fine music -- some new, some classic, but we hope you enjoyed all of it!

Ben Eldridge at the far left playing banjo with present and past
members of the Seldom Scene during the Original Scene's induction into
the Bluegrass Hall of Fame, October 2, 2014.  Ben's son, Chris, is standing
with his guitar to the immediate left of his father.

To start the program, we heard three songs from the Seldom Scene, as it was announced late last week that Ben Eldridge -- the Scene's banjo picker and the only original member of the band that was formed in 1971 -- was retiring.  It's always good to see Bluegrass (and really, ANY type of music) performers be able to retire when they are ready to retire.  Best wishes to this Bluegrass Hall of Famer, and thanks for the wonderful years of music!  It was also announced that Rickie Simpkins would be joining the Scene full-time.  If you've followed Bluegrass for a while, you may remember Rickie from his work with both the Tony Rice Unit and the Virginia Squires.  

Sunday's show was a good one to introduce some new Bluegrass, too.  We included songs from two recordings that will be released later this year (from Edgar Loudermilk, as well as Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice), as well as newer music from projects by the Grascals, Charm City Junction, John Bowman, the Kathy Kallick Band, and Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass.

Other "special" selections from Sunday included several tracks from an LP on Rounder featuring recordings made by the Osborne Brothers & Red Allen in 1956 and 1957, as well as several songs played in celebration of Dolly Parton, as she will celebrate her 69th birthday on January 19th.  

And for fun, we got to give away a couple of pairs of tickets to the upcoming January 22nd show at the lovely Infinity Music Hall in Norfolk, CT featuring the always-entertaining Gibson Brothers.  If you'd like more information on the show, find it by clicking here.  

I'll be back with you next Sunday at 4PM, and don't forget to look for Jim and his Red Rooster Party moves to 7-9AM on Sunday mornings beginning January 24th.

Enjoy the week!
