This week's playlist included some great new music from some well-established performers, as well as a few tunes that have been stuck in my head at some point throughout the week. The newer material we heard came from the likes of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver ("Lonely Street" on Rounder), Frank Wakefield ("Ownself Blues" from Patuxent Music), and David Davis & the Warrior River Boys ("Two Dimes And A Nickel" on Rebel Records), as well as a CD single from a new group called Brand New Strings, and a bit from the latest solo effort from Rhonda Vincent's long-time bass player, Mickey Harris (his very own label release, "Dog House Blues"). There is some fine new music there, and you will, doubtless, hear plenty more of it in the coming weeks on the ol' radio....
We also let two trainees from the most recent WHUS training class -- James Ward and his mom, Cathy -- test the airwaves for an hour in the middle of Sunday's show. James and Cathy have attended more BG festivals and events in CT and really, New England, than they can probably count, and are well-known by a good portion of the New England BG "crowd." James came in on Sunday well prepared for this radio stint, as he had chosen all of his tunes and brought the CDs to the station ready to go. The Wards will likely continue their on-air training for the next week or so, and who knows? Somewhere down the road, you may hear them doing their own show at WHUS....
Jim & Marti join you for the next two weeks of Bluegrass Cafe, and if my memory serves me correctly, you may be hearing some great guests, too. Tune in to find out, won't you please?
