Our first Bluegrass Cafe for the month of November was also the first show where we returned to Standard Time for 2024. No matter what time the clocks read, though, we filled three big hours with the best in Bluegrass music.
During a good portion of our show, we belatedly celebrated the 87th birthday of Country Music Hall of Famer, Bill Anderson (born November 1, 1937). Even though ol' Whisperin' Bill actually made a "Bluegrass record" a few years ago, it's more impressive to me how many Bill Anderson-penned songs have been recorded by Bluegrass performers over the years. To celebrate his birthday, we shared nine excellent Bluegrass covers of Bill Anderson classics.
There were a couple of Bluegrass birthdays to remember, too, including those of newly-minted Bluegrass Hall of Famer, Alan Munde (born November 4, 1946), as well as two potential future Hall of Famers, Allen Mills (of the Lost & Found - born November 4, 1937) and Junior Sisk (born November 6, 1964). Happy Birthday to all of them!
New music was part of the show, too, as we shared selections from Billy Strings, Big Country Bluegrass, Thomas Cassell, Carson Peters & Iron Mountain, and the Henhouse Prowlers. There was also recent music from Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, Greg Blake with Amanda Cook, and the "Bluegrass Sings Paxton" and "Blue-Collar Gospel" collections.
Thanks for listening to our Bluegrass Cafe this week! Hope you'll join us on Sunday the 10th, too, as we'll have a little telephone chat with Amanda Cook, and lots more fine music to share. See you then.
Have a good week!
