"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/19/2020

We're baaa-aaack!

The last time we were in the studio at WHUS to present our Bluegrass Cafe was March 8th.  When we signed off that day, we had no idea how this COVID-19 virus would impact us and our broadcasting future, but it surely has.  Weeks have passed with WHUS going into an automated mode, but we are happy to know that we now have the ability and opportunity to present a pre-recorded Bluegrass Cafe for you every week until it is deemed safe for us to be back broadcasting live at WHUS.  This pre-recording thing is all new to me -- even though the technologies have been in place for years.  Sunday's broadcast is one I recorded earlier this week -- hope you enjoyed it!  

As you might expect, we had a good bit of newer Bluegrass music to share with you, featuring several tracks from the brand new, all-brother duet record from the Feinberg Brothers called, "Songs We Sing."  We also included selections from soon-to-be or recently released records from Becky Buller, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, Justin Moses, Fast Track, and Laurie Lewis.  



Sadly, the Bluegrass World has not been untouched by the COVID-19 virus, so this week, we duly paid our respects to the country singer, Joe Diffie (December 28, 1958 - March 29, 2020) and the American songwriter, John Prine (October 10, 1946 - April 7, 2020).  Joe Diffie was part of a Bluegrass band as a young singer in his native Oklahoma, and would later go to make an all-Bluegrass recording in 2010.  John Prine was not a Bluegrass performer, but there is no doubt that many of his songs have been recorded in a Bluegrass style, most notably the autobiographical "Paradise" (recorded by Jim & Jesse and others).  We remembered these two gentlemen in the best way we know how -- by sharing
their music.  

I'm not sure for how long we will be broadcasting our Bluegrass Cafe in this pre-recorded way, but we hope you will consider tuning in again next Sunday, 4-7PM.  In the meantime, if you would like to send in a request, please feel free to do so via our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/WHUS.BluegrassCafe) or email (bgcafe@gmail.com).

Until next time, take good care, and have a good week!
