"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist 12/16/2007

Marti decided to stay home out of the weather (snow, freezing rain, ice), so I did the show solo.

We have an advance copy of Rhonda Vincent's new CD "Good Thing Going" (to be released in January 2008), so I featured three tracks from that effort in response to several requests.

I also featured some Christmas and Holiday music from 3 Fox Drive, Reno & Smiley, and Ralph Stanley.

You might notice I am playing more songs from local artists lately. I've come to realize that it is a noble responsibility to promote local artists on our community radio station, so you can expect to hear more local artists on the show in the future.

Probably the most unusual song was a request called in a couple of weeks ago that I was able to fulfill this week: a 1963 live recording of "He Went To Sleep and the Hogs Ate Him" from the Stanley Brothers. You won't find that kind of response to a request on XM or Sirius.

Thank you for all of the calls and requests. I really enjoy talking to our listeners.

Amy will be with you next Sunday, 23 December. Be sure to tune in.
