"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/13/2018

With my own mother at Webster's Indian Ranch, sometime in 1989.
On our Mother's Day edition of Bluegrass Cafe, we mainly featured songs about you-know-who:  Mother!  While the entire show was not strictly songs about mothers (those still with us, and those who live only in memory), it's a good estimate that probably 3/4 of the songs were about mom.  In fact, there are still a whole bunch more mother songs that I could/should have played, but we will save them for another week.  Happy Mother's Day to all!

The rest of the show included a few classics, but was mainly music drawn from two new recordings by two terrific traditional Bluegrass bands:  "Party For One" by the Feinberg Brothers and "Didn't He Ramble:  The Songs Of Charlie Poole" by David Davis & the Warrior River Boys.  Expect to hear a whole lot more from both of these great new records over the next few weeks.

Hope you'll consider joining us once again for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe!

Enjoy the week!
