"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/11/2018

Sunday's radio program featured music from several Bluegrass mid-March birthday celebrants, and also included selections from classic performers, as well as a bit of newer music.

The Bluegrass Birthday celebrants included one performer born on March 11th (David Peterson), three folks born on March 14th (Bob Paisley, Kristin Scott Benson, Terry McGill) and two who were born on March 16th (Tim O'Brien and Ronnie McCoury).  Four-time IBMA Bass Player of the Year, Marshall Wilborn, also celebrates a birthday this week (born March 12, 1952), so we put together a set of seven tunes penned by Marshall and recorded by several bands including the Lynn Morris Band, the Johnson Mountain Boys, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, Springfield Exit, Rhonda Vincent, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.  Happy Birthday to all!

Since this week happens to be my birthday, too, I took the liberty of playing a few selections from Country Music Hall of Fame members, the Statler Brothers.  Both original tenor Lew DeWitt and his replacement, Jimmy Fortune, were born in the same month (Lew on March 12, 1938, and Jimmy on March 11, 1955).  Although I have been a fan of the Statlers' music for almost four decades, I know darn well that playing their music on a show devoted to Bluegrass Music doesn't normally work so well.  Still, I could find a couple of Statler tunes recorded by two more huge Statler fans (Dailey & Vincent) to share, and even a little semi-Bluegrass-flavored tune the Statlers themselves recorded in 1972.  

Thanks for joining us for this week's program!  We will look for you once again next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!
