"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 1/8/2017

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe began in a rocking kind of way -- with Elvis Presley's 1954 recording of "Blue Moon Of Kentucky."  While there is no way Elvis could ever be considered to be a Bluegrass performer, it only seems proper to celebrate The King today, on what would have been his 81st birthday.
Remembering Randall Hylton (January 8, 1945 - March 19, 2003)

During the three hours of our broadcast, nineteen songs came from the very prolific pen of the late songwriter, Randall Hylton (born January 8, 1945).  We could have filled the entire broadcast (or several broadcasts) with the songs of Randall Hylton, but for today, just a few of Hylton's 225 published songs worked nicely.

We also remembered the January 6th birthday of Earl Scruggs, so overall, it seems like the show's tone was a celebratory one.  Hope you agree.

Have a wonderful week!
