There was excitement in the studio Sunday because we had the good fortune to have Wayne Taylor of Wayne Taylor and Appaloosa on the air with us live by telephone. Wayne has assembled a super band following his retirement from the US Navy where he was leader of the Navy's bluegrass unit, The Country Current. We featured a few songs from Wayne's new CD as well as a couple from an earlier Wayne Taylor collaboration with Bill Emerson. When you see Wayne, you must ask him about the time he performed for Bill Monroe.

We also played brand new music from two outstanding new CDs from The Gibson Brothers and Dale Ann Bradley.
With history in mind, we bookended Frank Wakefield's career (so far) by playing one of his oldest (from vinyl) and newest recorded instrumentals. It is amazing how consistent his tone is across 56 years.
Anne & Pete Sibley have a local concert in the area this coming Friday, so we played a fine song from one of their recent CDs.
We had short segments honoring Benny Martin (birthday this coming week), the Kentucky Derby (race horse songs), and Cinco de Mayo.
There was another cause to celebrate Sunday as James and Cathy Ward programmed their last one-hour segment of the show as trainees (their selections are in blue below). They did a great job, and we will now wait and see if they decide to pursue their own show. James' and Cathy's selections are indicated on the playlist in blue.
There is an astounding number of quality new releases lately, so I'll be eager to get some more of them on the air next week when Marti and I are back again.
