"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 2/26/2017

While I am a bit tardy in posting the playlist from Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, it's never too late to share...


Looking back, it seems like nearly half of the songs we played were in tribute to one of three music legends who would have celebrated birthdays during the preceding week.  None of these birthday celebrants are still with us, but what would the music world be like without the many songwriting, singing, and musician talents of Don Reno (born February 21, 1926), Ralph Stanley (born February 25, 1927), and Johnny Cash (born February 26, 1932)?  It's too unpleasant to even consider that answer, isn't it?  

Besides songs from the catalogs of Reno, Stanley, and Cash, we also heard a few songs from late 2016 and 2017 recordings, including music from the Price Sisters, Michael Cleveland, the Po' Ramblin' Boys, Jeff White, Corrina Rose Logston, the Gibson Brothers, and a new compilation from the Bluegrass Patriots.

It looks like this coming Sunday's show will be an abbreviated one, as there is a Women's Basketball game to be broadcast from 5-7PM.  We'll pack as much music as possible into our 4PM hour, though, so sure hope you can join us!  

We'll be looking for you then!
