"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 11/30/2008

Sunday's show included a bunch of new music from a good number of Pinecastle performers -- 2008 IBMA Banjo Player of the Year (and new Grascal) Kristin Scott Benson, David Parmley & Continental Divide, Ernie Thacker, and Nothin' Fancy -- as well as the second release from a newish label for 2008 called Mountain Roads Recordings. Their second-ever recording is from a group known as the Elkville String Band. All of these recordings seem top-notch, so you can bet you'll be hearing much more of them in future weeks at the BG Cafe.

Longtime CT Bluegrasser and host of UH Bluegrass on WWUH (University of Hartford), Kevin Lynch is leaving the airwaves and the area early in December. On Sunday afternoon, there was a "going away" party held for Kevin, but since we couldn't be at the party, we opted to play a couple of tunes from Kevin's Traver Hollow days, circa 1986. You'll have one more opportunity to hear Kevin on the air at WWUH this Saturday, 12/6. Check it out if you can, and, of course, best wishes to Kevin in his new endeavors....

As we did last December, our plan for the next few weeks is to give away a good number of CDs to our listeners. This is our way of saying THANKS to you all for supporting the show and listening all year. Hope you'll tune in over the next few weeks, as we may have something just for you....

There are several great BG shows in the area this coming week. We hope you'll take some time from your busy schedule and support the live music of Laurie Lewis & the Right Hands in East Hartford on Thursday, 12/4, as well as two shows by Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass in South Hadley, MA on Friday, 12/5, and in Lexington, MA on Saturday, 12/6 (joined at that show by James King). It's great to attend festivals in the summertime, but there's nothing quite like seeing a performer in a one-on-one type of concert. Excellent!

Join Jim & Marti next week for more great BG, and, of course, your chance to win a few more CDs....
