A guitar-centric fill-in - 5/19/2015

This rainy Tuesday morning found me at WHUS filling in for the vacationing John Veseskis, who is the host of guitar-themed program known as "Red House."  John has never left me with any kind of restrictions on what kind of music he'd like me to play while he's away, but since there are so darn many wonderful guitar players in both Bluegrass and Country Music, it's always fairly easy to fill a 2-hour program.  

On Tuesday, we included a whole 30 minute set full of songs with one common element:  each had the word "guitar" in the title.  We also put a little bit of a spotlight on a couple of mighty fine guitar pickers:  Hank Snow, Tony Rice, Jerry Reed, and Don Rich.  

If you got a chance to tune in this morning, thanks!  If not, be sure to join me on Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe!

Enjoy the week!

Amy
