Our first Bluegrass Cafe for the month of November started with a few leftover songs of Bluegrass ghosts and murders, as Halloween was only two days before our show aired. We didn't hold that ghostly "theme" for too long, though, as we had plenty more ground to cover during Sunday's radio visit.
Late October and early November Bluegrass birthdays were celebrated, including those of the late Sonny Osborne, as well as another Bluegrass Hall of Fame/banjo picker Alan Munde, and a couple of other fine folks: Martha Adcock, Allen Mills, and Junior Sisk.
As we do around November 1st every year, we remembered the 87th birthday of ol' Whisperin' Bill Anderson, whose wonderful songwriting has been enjoyed since the great Ray Price recorded Bill's tune, "City Lights" in 1958. What an amazing career this Grand Ole Opry legend has had, and we shared eight fine Bluegrass covers of some of his classic tunes, as well as some more-recent selections.
There was just a small portion of newer music to share during Sunday's show, most notably a couple of selections from the newest Bluegrass(ish) endeavor of Steve Martin -- a fine duet record he has made with the great Alison Brown called, "Safe, Sensible and Sane" There was also newer music from Echo Valley, Ralph Stanley II & the Clinch Mountain Boys, Edgar Loudermilk, and Grasstime.
UConn Women's Basketball will be heard during our normal 4-7PM timeslot this coming Sunday, November 9th. We hope to return with a brand-new Bluegrass Cafe on November 16th. See you then!
Thanks for listening!
