"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/21/2023

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was our last live-in-the-studio show for the month of May, as the University of Connecticut is closing the studio next weekend in order to give the UConn workers a holiday.  Our next live broadcast will be on Sunday, June 4th.

In the meantime, during Sunday's show, we began by belatedly celebrating the birth anniversary of the Singing Ranger -- one Clarence Eugene (a/k/a Hank) Snow.  We shared six songs from the Hank Snow song catalog, five of which were Bluegrass covers.  

As we won't be on the air next Sunday (unless WHUS runs an archival broadcast of the show), we included a few songs which were appropriate for the real meaning of Memorial Day.

There was a tiny bit of newer music to share this week, as well.  To that end, we shared new or recent music from Boone & Foster, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, the Kody Norris Show, Troy Engle, Patrick McAvinue, Lost & Found, Cory Walker, Jerry Salley, the Lonesome River Band, Jason Barie, Mike Mitchell, the Gibson Brothers, and Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers.

And finally, we played several songs from a recording I found recently at a used book sale.  This CD:  "E Pluribus Bluegrass" was recorded by the Bluegrass Patriots in 1996, and listening to it reminded me of how much I enjoyed this band.  Though the Patriots were a Colorado band, they did play a lot of major (and smaller) Bluegrass shows and festivals in the eastern U.S. around the time this CD was released.  The Bluegrass Patriots released several other CDs over the course of their 30+ year life as a band, but to me, this one will always be their best.  

Enjoy the week ~ and thanks for listening!
