"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 2/2/2025

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was our first for February 2025.  We had a few items on our agenda for the day, and we managed to include all of them.  First and foremost, we belatedly celebrated the birthdays of four prominent Bluegrassers born on February 1st:  Del McCoury (1939), Tom Gray (1941), David Parmley (1959), and Jason Carter (1973).  No better way to celebrate these gents than by sharing their music...and so, we did.

We pulled out our sometimes-feature wherein we occasionally put one letter of the alphabet in the spotlight.  Our featured letter for Sunday was "F" -- in honor of the month of February, of course.  To that end, we shared music from more than twenty acts whose band name or surname began with the letter "F."  Among the "F" performers:  Raymond Fairchild, Rick Faris, Fast Track, Gary Ferguson, the Feinberg Brothers, Flashback, Lester Flatt, Flatt Lonesome, Bela Fleck, Aaron "Frosty" Foster, Front Range, Full Cord, and several others.

And since Sunday was Grammy Awards Day, we also included music from 5 of the 6 nominated recordings in the category of Bluegrass Album of the Year.  Congratulations to all of the nominees (Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, the Del McCoury Band, Sister Sadie, Tony Trischka, and Dan Tyminski), as well as to the winner, Billy Strings.  

Hope you've had a fine week.  We hope to be back on the air with you this coming Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM.  Hope you'll join us for another Bluegrass Cafe!

Take care - 

Amy O.
