"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 11/25/2012, Walter Hensley and Rosa Lee Watson

Rosa Lee, Doc, & Merle Watson

Hi Folks.

UCONN sports broadcasting cut this show to one hour, but we made it a potent hour with remembrances of Walter Hensley, dean of Baltimore banjo pickers who died the evening prior to this show, and Rosa Lee Carlton Watson, widow of Doc Watson, who died on Thanksgiving Day.  For some words about Rosa Lee, see this item I wrote for the WHUS web site:  Rosa Lee Watson

I was able to put a few other classic recordings on from White Mountain Bluegrass, Ted Lundy, and Flatt & Scruggs.

Newer music included songs from Travers Chandler, Randy Jones, and Wayne Taylor & Appaloosa.

Thanks for listening.  Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring next week.
