"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/14/2009

As some of you may know, Jim and I both spent the better part of Sunday at the very fine Sam Tidwell Tribute Day, but we were fortunate enough to be able to call upon the services of recent WHUS Radio Training class graduates, James Ward, and his mom, Cathy to program the BG for us. Listed below you'll find their playlist from Sunday's show. Special thanks to the Wards and to Marti for stepping in on one of those rare occasions when neither Jim nor I could be at the station from 4-7PM on a Sunday afternoon.

As for the Tidwell celebration, it was just a great day filled with fine entertainment for a true New England BG pioneer and legendary character. In addition to music from several fine New England bands (including Jim's band, Pine Creek), Rhode Island-born Jimmy Gaudreau (joined by his singing partner with the amazing voice, Moondi Klein) came out to pay tribute to his mentor. At the end of the day, Sam took the stage himself (joined by several old friends, including fellow Kennebec Valley Boys Bob Denoncourt and Bill Kimball) and played several tunes and told a couple of stories. Kudos to event organizers Myrna Riquier and Fred Etheridge for putting this great tribute together, and thanks again to Sam Tidwell for his years of inspiration to many, many BG pickers!

On Father's Day, I hope you'll join me on the ol' radio. My plan is to play at least a little bit of music by BG fathers and their offspring, so we'll see how that goes...
