"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/30/2018

Two favorites from 2018
For this last Bluegrass Cafe broadcast for 2018, we featured a whole lot of fine music released during the year.  Boy, there sure was a ton of it!  At some point over the next week, I plan to put together a list of my personal favorites for the year, but for now, suffice it to say that on Sunday's radio show, we shared a whole lot of great Bluegrass from 2018.  Hope you enjoyed it!

Allerton Hawkes
(December 25, 1930 - December 28, 2018)
We also paid tribute on Sunday to a bona fide New England Bluegrass legend, Al Hawkes, who died on December 28th at the age of 88.  Mr. Hawkes lived an amazingly full life both as a performer and as a record label owner and jack-of-all-trades.  He was a frequent festival attendee who could always be spotted jamming and enjoying himself and the music.  A few years ago, Maine Public Television aired a fabulous documentary all about the life of this Westbrook, Maine legend.  Click on this link to view the show in its entirety:

Thanks very much for joining us for Bluegrass Cafe in 2018.  We intend to keep bringing you this program in 2019, too, so hope you'll consider joining us whenever you can!

Happy New Year!!
