Playlist - 4/17/2016

Hi Folks.

The game scheduled to end at our start time ended early giving us an extra 15 minutes, so we slipped in some great instrumentals for the most part with a couple of exceptions to get us to our regular start time.

New music included the debut of the new CD from Marteka and William Lake.  By my count this is their fifth recording, and they are still teens!  The siblings continue to improve on their previous efforts with every new release.  A real jewel on the new CD is "My Native Home" for the vocal by William, but all of the instruments are played to perfection throughout.



Other new or newer music included songs/tunes from Rice & Menzone Alliance, The Po' Ramblin' Boys, Lonesome River Band, The Grascals, The Del McCoury Band, James Reams & The Barnstormers, and The Boxcars.  


We gave away one of Loretta Lynn's new CDs and played a track to support the giveaway.  We also gave away a pair of tickets to the May 6th concert by The South Carolina Broadcasters for GuitartownCT.com at the Spaceland Ballroom in Hamden, and played a few tracks from their latest CD over the course of the show.  (Click here for tickets)


For the Heritage Corner, we found a 45 single of Roma Jackson and his Tennessee Pals that Joe Bussard had played on Red Rooster Party in the morning, so we let the bluegrass audience hear it, too.  I now know of two copies of that single.  We also heard a slightly predictive and mostly out-of-date novelty from Charlie Monroe & the Kentucky Pardners about the women taking charge.


Amy will be with you next Sunday to make the banjos and fiddles ring, so please tune in for the best bluegrass you'll find.

I'll be back in spirit on Red Rooster Party next Sunday morning with Marti.
