"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 1/3/2016

Happy New Year, everyone!  Our first Bluegrass Cafe broadcast of 2016 focused a tiny bit on some of our favorite recordings of 2015 from several performers including Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, David Peterson, the Seth Sawyer Band, the Gibson Brothers, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, the Kathy Kallick Band, Alan Bibey & Grasstowne, Flatt Lonesome, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, the Feinberg Brothers, and Feller & Hill.  Should you care to review our list of favorite Bluegrass recordings of 2015, you can click on this link.    

Mac Wiseman with his book and one of his former
employees, Eddie Adcock.

In addition to playing songs from some of our 2015 favorites, we also shared a bit of music from two Bluegrass legends who celebrated some big birthdays last year:  Mac Wiseman turned 90 last May, and Curly Seckler marked his 96th birthday on Christmas Day.  Amazing.  

We couldn't let the show pass without remembering a few Bluegrass folks who died in 2015.  While we weren't able to play music from each of these performers and/or songwriters, we always want to remember Dixie Hall, Bill Yates, Benjamin "Tex" Logan, Paul Harvey (of Connecticut band, Traver Hollow), Mike Kropp (of Northern Lights), and a 2015 inductee into the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, Bill Keith.  

Hope you can make plans to join us every Sunday afternoon!  Jim will join you next Sunday at 4PM.  Be sure to be with him, too, won't you?

Enjoy the week!
