"Bluegrass Cafe" Play List 8/27/2006

The Cafe opened about an hour late because of a UCONN womens soccer game, but we had enough time to celebrate the birthday of one of the icons of bluegrass music -- Carter Stanley. Carter would have been 81 this Sunday had he lived, but in his 20 years of making music professionally, he profoundly influenced the world of bluegrass music. We began the show with a set of Stanley Brothers songs written by Carter, and closed the show with some gospel numbers performed by the Stanley Brothers.

We also had time to play a couple of J. D. Crowe tunes to celebrate his birthday, also Sunday.

The rest of the music was either requested, or some of my favorites, since it was my birthday, too.

I hope you tune in next week when I'll be back at the Bluegrass Cafe.
