Hurricane Irene made sure our power was out at the house, and that many roads were impassable, but UCONN's power was up as was WHUS. While Amy was blocked from getting to the station, I didn't mind stepping in to keep Bluegrass Cafe on the air.I used this unexpected opportunity to play many of the tunes that have been left on the table for lack of time during previous shows, and to include a good dose of new music, too.
Rain, flood, storm, and weather-themed songs peppered the playlist in light of the conditions around New England at the time.
New music making an appearance on this show included songs from Larry Gillis and Alex Leach, Blue Highway, Nu-Blu, Dale Ann Bradley, Lee Marcus, John Bowman, Mountain Faith, Rodney Dillard, and Darin and Brooke Aldridge.
If the weather holds out, there is a good chance Amy will be with you next Sunday over the Labor Day weekend, so be sure to tune in. I'm sure she has some good storm tales along with some great bluegrass music.
