"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 10/26/2008

It was another great bluegrass day with great New England fall weather, and you let Marti and me know it by keeping the phones ringing during Bluegrass Cafe. Thanks a lot!

We gave away a few CDs to callers as we do from time-to-time, so you can add to your music collection just by keeping your dial on 91.7 or your browser on whus.org

I got my hands on some classic bluegrass recently re-released on CD -- Jim Eanes, Bobby Atkins, Mark Atkins and the Original Countrymen -- and I was happy to bring that great picking and unique singing your ears.

We also saluted some historic calendar events such as Snuffy Jenkins' birthday (10/27/1908), Mike Hartgrove's birthday (10/27/55), Bill Monroe joining the Opry (10/28/39), and Jimmy Martin's recording of "Train 45" (10/30/2008) by playing songs of these great bluegrassers.

We also want to wish Jack Holland (I sometimes call him "John") a very happy birthday (Meg squealed on him). Jack is a great bluegrass supporter and runs a very fine New England bluegrass blog. Check it out at this link.

Amy will keep the banjos and fiddles ringing next week.
