"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 11/16/2025

"Come along and ride this train..."

That's how we spent a good portion of our Bluegrass Cafe on November 16th.  Many of the songs were all about trains, which remain popular in books, in collectibles, in memory, and, of course, in song.  All aboard!

In addition to our 22 train songs, we also shared some newer Bluegrass selections from several bands, including a duet experience between the Po' Ramblin' Boys and Sister Sadie, and newer music from Mike Mitchell, Pitney Meyer, Appalachian Road Show, Larry Sparks, and more.

Birthdays this week included those of Tom Adams and Larry Cordle, too.

Thanks, as always, for listening!
