It has been a very tough year with the loss of so many great pioneering musicians, and today was another day of tributes, this time to Kenny Roberts (October 14, 1926 - April 29, 2012) and Everett Lilly (July 1, 1924 - May 8, 2012).

Everett Lilly was an important member of The Lilly Brothers & Don Stover -- all West Virginians who, along with Tex Logan, brought bluegrass music to New England, Boston in particular, around 1952. Dick Bowden has written a great remembrance of Everett on Bluegrass Today. You can read it here.

| Some of the earliest studio recordings of The Lilly Brothers were made by Al Hawkes 1956-57 |

New music on this program included a single from Ray Edwards and a host of great singers and musicians remembering Jimmy Martin, and new tunes from Bobby Osborne, The Boxcars, NewTown, Bill Emerson, Freeman & Williams, John Bowman, and Doyle Lawson.
Be sure to tune in next week when Amy Orlomoski will make the banjos and fiddles ring.
