Our main focus of Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was to showcase a whole bunch of music from a legendary banjo picker. This was all done in anticipation of a chat we had scheduled with Gordon Castelnero and David L. Russell -- two banjo pickers who have written a very well-researched biography titled Earl Scruggs: Banjo Icon (Rowman & Littlefield, ISBN: 9781442268654). Perhaps you might like to add this book to your summer reading list? In addition to a whole lot of music from Earl, we debuted several songs from the debut recording of Ralph Stanley II & the Clinch Mountain Boys. There was also newer music from Bobby Osborne, the Farm Hands, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, the Gibson Brothers, Terry Baucom's Dukes Of Drive, and a very new recording from a Connecticut trio, Still Pickin'.
Hope you enjoyed the show, and that you'll consider joining me once again next Sunday afternoon for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.
Enjoy the week!
