"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/25/2008

Sunday's show featured the second of our seven Guest DJs at BG Cafe -- Clyde Proch. If you've attended a BG festival in New England over the past 15-20 years, it's pretty likely that you've seen Clyde, as he devotes a good many hours promoting and enjoying Bluegrass. He did an excellent job with his Guest DJ stint -- in fact, he did so well that the phones practically never stopped ringing! Clyde's tunes are marked on the list below in blue. Thanks, Clyde, for your pledge to WHUS during Radiothon, and we look forward to hearing the fine work of our remaining 5 Guest DJs this summer....

In addition to Clyde's hour of tunes, we spent a bit of time on Sunday honoring veterans for Memorial Day. We also got to give away a pair of passes to the big Strawberry Park Bluegrass Festival this coming weekend, as well as a couple of BG CDs from Balsam Range and David Johnson. New music was included a bit, as well, as we played one tune each from the new discs by Canada's Spinney Brothers (their self-released Going Home) and the teenage mandolin picker, Sierra Hull (Secrets on Rounder). Be listening for more from these terrific CDs, as well as several others we've been getting at WHUS over the past couple of weeks.

Incidentally, if you're heading to Strawberry Park this weekend, do be on the lookout for our own Jim Beaver as one of your MCs....

Hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend, and be sure to thank a veteran near you....

Hi Folks,

I was in a "classic" mood Sunday and that was reflected in the many classic bluegrass numbers I played on this show. I've got to admit that I had a grand time getting back to the roots, but I played plenty of the newest material as well.

I also had a chance to give away a pair of day passes for the day of choice at the Strawberry Park Bluegrass Festival to be held May 29, 30, 31, and June 1 in Preston, CT. Amy will give away another pair of day passes next Sunday, so be sure to tune in.

Jim

Hello there -

Sunday was a super-busy day at UCONN -- Commencement Day for 2,000+ graduates. That means there was a TON of activity on campus, and no parking to be found. Congratulations to all graduates, but especially to one young man who was a listener of BG Cafe -- Colin from Litchfield. It's always nice to know that there are younger folks who are interested in this music.

We also featured the first of our seven Guest DJs, who had each pledged a certain amount of money to have an hour of their own at the BG Cafe. First up was Scott Farrar, and he did a fine job with some excellent tunes. His tunes are marked on the list below in RED. Thanks, Scott! Look (and listen) for more Guest DJs in the future weeks....

And, of course, Sunday was Mother's Day, so we paid tribute with a few songs devoted to mother.

Thanks to everyone who listened, and make sure you join Jim & Marti next week at the BG Cafe.

"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 5/4/2008

Hi Folks,

Jim & Marti here filling you in on what we played last Sunday.

Following the lead-off set that paid tribute to horse racing (the Kentucky Derby was the day before), we brought you some lesser-played favorites along with some of the latest music, including the debut of the new CD from The Infamous Stringdusters. While those boys are wandering out towards the edges of bluegrass, there is a track or two on their new self-titled CD that carries the bluegrass banner, and we played one of them. The Dusters will be at Podunk this year, so you can hear them do it live when they come around.

Amy will be with you on Mother's Day, so be sure to tune in.
