"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/28/2025

During this last Sunday of September, Bluegrass Cafe celebrated the birthdays of two of Bluegrass music's finest who were both born on September 28th:  Ronnie Reno and Laurie Lewis.  What better way to celebrate these folks than to share some of their music?  We did that quite easily.  

From time to time, we like to remember certain members of the Country Music Hall of Fame whose influence has been deeply felt by the World of Bluegrass Music.  For today, we celebrated the King of Country Music, Roy Claxton Acuff (September 15, 1903 - November 23, 1992), with several selections from his song catalog performed by Joe Val, the Tennessee Mafia Jug Band, Bear Minimum, Special Consensus, David Peterson & 1946, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.  There was also music from the man, himself, as well as a tribute to Roy Acuff from the Osborne Brothers.  

New music played a small part in the show, including selections from Larry Sparks, Shawn Camp, Grasstime, Ralph Stanley II & the Clinch Mountains Boys, and the Grass Daddies.

Thanks for joining us for this week's radio visit.  We'll hope to have you join us once again next Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.

Have a good week!
