What great fun it is to have the honor of serving up the bluegrass music at the Bluegrass Cafe!
We played an extraordinary amount of brand new music, as well as our classics. But the best part was playing lots of
local bands. We heard from Shady Creek, The Old Time Bluegrass Singers, Bear Bridge, ShoreGrass, Charter Oak, The Gray Sky Girls, and Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters. Amy was a live guest on The Sunday Night Folk Festival with Susan Forbes Hansen (both of whom were birthday girls Sunday!), and brought a brand new release with Amy and Roger Williams called "Phoenix" that I literally put on the air as she handed it to me. It doesn't get much fresher than that.
I also set a personal record for number of songs played on a single three hour show (the number was
61 not counting the Rhonda Vincent song that ended the Red Rooster Party just prior to opening the Cafe.)
We appreciate all our listeners -- especially all who called to tell us you were enjoying the show and to make requests. Thank you very much.
After all that, Marti and I are taking a rest. Red Rooster is preempted the first hour on 20 January for sports, so Amy will be with you for four hours. Be sure to tune in around 3:00 pm EST for the best in music.
