"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/29/2007

We always enjoy giving things away to our listeners, and Sunday's show included a whole lot of that. We talked on the phone to two promoters of upcoming BG festivals in New England, and were able to give away passes to each festival. First up was Roger Moss of the Podunk Bluegrass Festival in East Hartford (August 2-5), and then came Rich Kendall of the Lake Champlain Bluegrass Festival in Alburg, Vermont (August 10-12). Both festivals feature top-notch entertainment, and should be a whole lot of fun. Thanks to both Roger & Rich for coming on the air with us, and for sharing some passes with our listeners.

In addition, we were able to give away a couple of full-carload passes for the upcoming Tolland County 4H Fair in Vernon, CT (August 10-12). Bluegrass from Winsted's Northernbound will be featured at the fair on Friday, August 10th. Thanks to our listeners, the Trickett Family, for providing us with these passes.

If all of these giveaways weren't enough, we were also able to squeeze in a teeny bit of new music from two outstanding students of the Ralph Stanley School of Bluegrass: Charlie Sizemore ("Good News" comes out on Rounder in August), and James Alan Shelton ("Walking Down The Line" is James's outstanding new solo CD).

Sunday's show marked our last broadcast from our "temporary" broadcast home (4+ years) on UCONN's Horsebarn Hill. Beginning this Wednesday, August 1st, we'll be moving into our brand new studios at UCONN's Student Union. Marti will be with you for the "inaugural" edition of BG Cafe from that new broadcast home next Sunday, August 5th.
