"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/12/2007

While Marti was behind the board last week (and did a top-notch job) for the "inaugural" BG Cafe from our new studios at WHUS, yesterday, it was my turn. It was fun trying to make sure we left only a teensy bit of dead air. There's still a lot to learn about our new equipment, but I think we'll all manage just fine....

In addition to listening to a couple of cuts each from two fabulous brand new recordings -- "Lovin' Pretty Women" by the Steep Canyon Rangers and "Good News" by the Charlie Sizemore Band -- we paid tribute to the King of Bluegrass, Jimmy Martin, who would have celebrated his 80th birthday on August 10th. Jimmy may no longer be with us, but his music and his influence will certainly go on forever.

Hope you heard something you enjoyed on Sunday. I'll be back with you again next week.
