"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/2/2017

Happy July 3rd Birthday to RI native, Jimmy Gaudreau
(seen here c. 1969ish)

On the Sunday before Independence Day, we had a bunch of things to celebrate!  In addition to sharing several songs with a patriotic theme, we also remembered birthday celebrants Jimmy Gaudreau (born July 3, 1946), Charlie Monroe (born July 4, 1903), and Peter Rowan (born July 4, 1942); the Battle of Gettysburg (fought in Gettysburg, PA from July 1 through July 3, 1865); and the disappearance of Amelia Earhart (whose plane disappeared in the South Pacific on July 2, 1937).  That's a lot of music to play in a commemorative nature -- even before we got around to playing any other music.  

Dave Evans (July 24, 1950 - June 26, 2017)

The Bluegrass World lost another original voice this past week when Dave Evans, a fine banjo picker and powerful vocalist, died on June 26th, less than one month before celebrating his sixty-sixth birthday.  In tribute, we featured a couple of songs:  one showcasing Dave Evans's vocals, and the second an instrumental number featuring his banjo.  

A small portion of new Bluegrass for 2017 made it on to our WHUS airwaves on Sunday, too.  Among those newest recordings was music from the Garrett Newton Band, Big Country Bluegrass,

Traditional Bluegrass from the Golden West

Mark Kuykendall, Bobby Hicks & Asheville Bluegrass, Ralph Stanley II & the Clinch Mountain Boys, the Gibson Brothers, the Lonesome River Band, Still Pickin', and Matt And George & their Pleasant Valley Boys.  

Have a safe and happy 4th, and we'll be looking for you on Sunday afternoon at 4PM!
