"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/5/2019

Sunday's show was one for remembering a Bluegrass Hall of Famer and introducing a whole lot of new music.  Hope you were able to tune in for a bit, at least.


John Starling with Ben Eldredge & Tom Gray
Bluegrass Hall of Fame induction
Raleigh, NC
October 2, 2014
On May 2nd, one of the founding members of the Seldom Scene -- Dr. John Starling -- died at the age of 79.  Starling's manner of singing was not in the "high lonesome" style, and in that way, he was able to spark an interest in Bluegrass for some who may not have otherwise had any interest in the music.  In 2014, the Bluegrass Hall of Fame inducted Starling into it's ranks, along with other original Seldom Scene-ers Mike Auldridge and Ben Eldredge (other Seldom Scene founders John Duffey and Tom Gray had been inducted into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame earlier with the "classic" grouping of Country Gentlemen).  Though John Starling had not made records in recent years, his influence will be forever felt in the world of Bluegrass music.

Sunday also happened to be a major day for sharing new Bluegrass music, as we debuted selections from Nu-Blu, Jerry Salley, Irene Kelley, Merle Monroe, Aaron Bibelhauser, Buddy Melton & Milan Miller, Blue Moon Rising, Sally Berry, and Ronnie Bowman. 

Hope you enjoyed our program today.  Please consider joining us once more next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Have a good week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/28/2019

Back in the saddle again!  After a week's absence, on Sunday, I returned to our Bluegrass Cafe with a mixed bag of classic, brand new, and everything in between.  Many thanks to Cathy Day and son Keegan Day for filling in on Easter Sunday.  If you missed their rendition of our Bluegrass Cafe, click here to view the Days' playlist.  Hope you had a fine holiday!


Recognize this mandolin player from 1965?
Our mixed bag today included songs from a couple of New England's contribution to the Bluegrass World:  Vermont's Dan Tyminski and Jimmy Gaudreau of Rhode Island.  These two have made the Bluegrass World a better place, and we will continue to share their musical contributions whenever we can.

There were two notable new recordings to share this week:  "30" from the Larry Stephenson Band (celebrating Larry's 30 years as a bandleader), and the second recording from an up-and-coming Boston-based band, Mile Twelve ("City On A Hill").  

If you didn't get a chance to listen today, hope you will consider joining us for next Sunday's show.

Until then, have a good week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/14/2019

While Sunday was a semi-lovely, pleasantly warm April day, we still had no real plan for our Bluegrass Cafe.  Instead, our musical selections were sort of a random "free-for-all," but still, it seemed like everything went just fine.  Hope you were able to listen.  

We did have a Country Music Hall of Famer's birthday to celebrate on this April 14th -- the Coal Miner's Daughter, Loretta Lynn (born April 14, 1932).  While Loretta's music hasn't been overly covered in the World of Bluegrass, we did find a song or four to share.  We also remembered the birthday of fiddle great Stuart Duncan (born April 14, 1964), included recent music from 2019 and late 2018, and included a whole lot of Bluegrass favorites.

Be sure to join Cathy Day on Easter Sunday on our WHUS airwaves, 4-7PM.

Have a great week!

Amy O.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/7/2019

It was a full three-hour show for our Bluegrass Cafe on this first Sunday of April.  We included classic Bluegrass, brand-new Bluegrass, and everything in between -- just like we aim to do on nearly every show.

In addition, as we still had a bunch of Bluegrass versions of Merle Haggard (born April 6, 1937) tunes to share, we put together seven of 'em for Sunday's program.  We also briefly celebrated the upcoming birthday of a multi-award winning, outstanding guitar picker, singer, and Country Music Hall of Famer, Vince Gill (born April 12, 1957).  Gill is no stranger to Bluegrass audiences, so we found a tune or two to share in honor of his birthday.

There was a touch of new-for-2019 music, as well, including selections from Amanda Cook, David Grier, Aubrey Eisenman & the Clydes, Colebrook Road, and Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers.

Hope you enjoyed the show, and that you'll consider joining us once again next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/31/2019

It was another Sports Sunday at WHUS, but our Bluegrass Cafe wasn't impacted by any of the sports broadcasts.  In fact, we even were allowed a few "extra" minutes to share a couple of songs from a very fine CD that was released in 2018 on Mountain Home, "Come See About Me:  A Benefit For The IBMA Trust Fund."  

While today is March 31st, we opened our show with a spotlight on the "stars of tomorrow," no fooling.  Hope you don't turn into an April Fool.  :)

This Sunday was a day for some new music, too, as we included selections from a brand new recording:  "For The Record" by Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers.  There were two songs from recording projects that haven't even been completed (performed by both Rick Faris and Volume Five), as well as other 2019/late 2018 music from Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Deanie Richardson, Carolina Blue, and Big Country Bluegrass.

And, as we often like to do, we remembered a Country Music Hall of Famer who would have celebrated a birthday this week:  Merle Haggard.  

Hope you have a wonderful week, and that you'll consider joining us once again next Sunday afternoon!

Amy O.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/24/2019

Sunday afternoon at WHUS was chock-full of sports programming with a UConn Baseball game that ended at 4:06PM, as well as 2nd Round NCAA Basketball Tournament time for the UConn Women's Basketball team at 7PM.  In between those times, though, we filled the the airwaves with the sounds of our Bluegrass Cafe.  Hope you were able to join us!

Mainline Express at Joe Val 2019.
The music that made up Sunday's playlist started with songs celebrating Spring, but also included a little bit of new music for 2019, including selections from Mainline Express, Dale Ann Bradley, Unspoken Tradition, and Nightflyer.  

With so much sports activity at UConn in the Spring, we hope to join you for a full program next Sunday afternoon, but preeemptions are always possible this time of year.  We'll keep you posted.

Thanks for listening, and have a good week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/17/2019

There were no UConn Basketball or Baseball preemptions on Sunday, so we shared a full three hours of the Bluegrass Music on the radio.  As it also happens to be St. Patrick's Day, we included several Irish-themed tunes performed in a Bluegrass style.  In addition, there was a bit of brand-new music, a tribute to a Country Music Hall of Famer (Carl Smith, born 3/15/1927), and a few of my personal favorites, as always.

Among the new music for this week were selections from the Tim O'Brien Band, Andy Statman, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Christian Davis, and Rick Lang.  

A few days ago, I celebrated my own birthday, so I used that as a good excuse to share a few of my favorites, as well.  :)  Thanks for letting me indulge myself.  

Hope you enjoyed the show, and that you'll consider joining us once more next Sunday afternoon.

Have a fine week!

Amy O.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/10/2019

It was Bluegrass Cafe Express today, as the UConn Women's Basketball team are in the midst of a league tournament, and played a game today from 4-6PM, which happened to be broadcast on WHUS.  We may not get through the rest of March without another sports preemption, but as always, we will try to let you know when the showtime is going to be shortened.  Sunday just happened to be one of those days.

John Duffey giving Big Mon a few pointers?
In our 64 minute Sunday broadcast, we shared an eclectic mix of tunes new and not-as-new, and paid a belated Happy Birthday tribute to the late John Duffey (born March 4, 1934).  

Hope to join you for a full three-hour broadcast next Sunday.  That's the plan, anyway.

Have a good week!  

Amy O.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/3/2019

As we waited for an early March snowstorm in eastern Connecticut, we opened Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe with an hour's worth of music from the Mac Wiseman Songbook.  The two-time Hall of Famer may have died one week ago at the age of 93, but his music will live with us forever.  On Sunday, we shared songs from Mac's earliest recording days with Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs and Bill Monroe, songs recorded with duet partners as varied as Merle Haggard, John Prine, and Bill Harrell, and selections from Mac's 2016 "autobiography in song" collection from Mountain Fever Records, "I Sang The Song."  

Want to learn more about "The Voice With A Heart?"  Mac's 2015 autobiography is titled, All My Memories Fit For Print.  

Hope you enjoyed the show.  Please consider joining us next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!
