During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we celebrated several October birthdays, the 50th anniversary of a Chicago-based Bluegrass band, and remembered a New England Bluegrass fixture. Hope you were able to join us for our weekly radio visit.
The October birthdays we celebrated this week included those of Bob Amos, Larry Stephenson, the late Don Parmley, and Eric Gibson. We also took a few minutes to remember the entertaining Lewis Marshall Jones - better known as "Everybody's Favorite Grandpa," Grandpa Jones.
The Special Consensus is celebrating 50 years as a band, and formally celebrated with a big concert this past Saturday evening, wherein several Special C alumni performed with the current members. Congratulations to Special C founder Greg Cahill for keeping this band vital and performing for half a century!
