"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/28/2016

Sunday was another move-in day at the University of Connecticut, and so, the quiet and peace of the campus during the Summer is over.  Oh well.  Even though it was more of a challenge than normal to get into the station, we still played a whole bunch of great music.  Hope you agree!

Happy Birthday, J.D. Crowe!

We had a couple of birthdays to celebrate during Sunday's program, and how better to do that than by sharing their music?  Among the birthday celebrants were two Bluegrass Hall of Famers:  the late Carter Stanley (born August 27, 1925), as well as J.D Crowe (born August 27, 1937).  In addition, we included one song from Jeannette Williams, who celebrates her birthday on August 28th.  

New music played a good part in Sunday's show, too.  We included music from really new recordings by Blue Highway, the Price Sisters, and Adam Steffey, as well as newer music from the Earls Of Leicester, Edgar Loudermilk, Audie Blaylock & Redline, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, Mickey Galyean & Cullen's Bridge, Travers Chandler, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.  

Sunday also seemed like a good day to feature a bunch of music from the always-enjoyable Country Gentlemen.  I'll be honest:  the Country Gents were one of the most often-played bands around my house as I was growing up, so their music ranks very high on my "favorites" list.  Charlie Waller's warm and rich voice is always pleasing to my ear, no matter which grouping of Country Gentlemen I happen to be listening to at any particular moment.  Thanks to YouTube, though, and viewing several clips from a reunion performance by this CG configuration, I mostly focused on the "Award Winning Country Gentlemen" of the early 1970s today (Charlie Waller with Doyle Lawson, Bill Emerson, and Bill Yates).  Hope you enjoyed their music...'cause you'll keep on hearing it at our Bluegrass Cafe!  

Have a great week...and be sure to join Jim for another three hours of Bluegrass Cafe next Sunday afternoon, won't you?

Hi Folks.


I brought in a good bit of vinyl for this show.

Featured was four tracks from Joe Val's first Rounder album (Rounder 0003) that featured pioneering New England banjo picker Bob French who had died the day before.

Also, I played a couple of tracks from the just-released Kroppdusters CD that was Mike Kropp's final project before he passed.

Hope you enjoyed.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/14/2016

Sunday afternoon's Bluegrass Cafe was a lot of fun -- or, shall I say that it definitely was fun for me, and hopefully, was enjoyed by our listeners, too!  

Two of Saturday's fine -- and hot -- Podunk performers:
Joe Mullins & Junior Sisk.

We began the show with several songs from a few Podunk performers, including the South Carolina Broadcasters, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, Sideline, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, and Saturday night's headliners, the Del McCoury Band.  Big congratulations to the Podunk organizers and volunteers for such a fabulous festival held under some pretty hot and humid conditions.  

Edgar Loudermilk

We also had a telephone visit on Sunday afternoon with the fine singer, songwriter, and now, band leader, Edgar Loudermilk.  Our main topic of conversation was Edgar's very good solo recording on Pinecastle Records which was released in early July:  "Georgia Maple."  Thanks to him for visiting with us!

There was a tiny bit of newer music to be heard on Sunday, too.  This time, the newer selections came from the aforementioned Edgar Loudermilk, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, and Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, as well as Mickey Galyean & Cullen's Bridge, Audie Blaylock & Redline, the Po' Ramblin' Boys, Travers Chandler, David Parmley & Cardinal Tradition, the Boxcars, the Spinney Brothers, and the Earls Of Leicester.

Hope you're staying cool during this steamy August.  Be sure to join Jim for some cool Bluegrass next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/31/2016

Don Parmley (1933-2016) sitting down with
the Bluegrass Cardinals, c. mid-1970s (?)

It's summer at the Bluegrass Cafe (and elsewhere, too).  That means that there's generally a whole lot of great, live Bluegrass to be heard at a whole lot of festivals and shows.  Fortunately, for all of us, many, many performers have had their songs recorded during a live performance, so we started Sunday's show featuring a little bit of "live" music, so as to get into a type of "festival mode."  Not sure if it worked or not, but it definitely is fun to tap into those live recordings every now and then.

Melvin Goins (1933-2016) was a member
of three separate Halls of Fame.

Something that definitely is NOT fun is the fact that we lost not one but two wonderful Bluegrass performers late this week:  Melvin Goins (December 30, 1933-July 29, 2016) and Don Parmley (October 19, 1933-July 30, 2016).  Both of these gentlemen devoted many years of their lives to making music that would be remembered, and their work clearly was not in vain.  We shared several songs from each of them during Sunday's show, including selections from bands associated with Melvin Goins (the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers, the Goins Brothers, America's Bluegrass Band, and Melvin Goins & Windy Mountain) as well as a couple of bands related to Don Parmley (the Hillmen, and, of course, the Bluegrass Cardinals).  We'll remember both entertainers through their music on the Bluegrass Cafe.

As always, there was a smattering of newer Bluegrass music on Sunday's show, too.  Those selections came from recent projects by the Earls Of Leicester, Kristin Scott Benson, Newtown, Steve Gulley & New Pinnacle, Stuart Wyrick, Mickey Galyean & Cullen's Bridge, Jeff White, David Parmley & Cardinal Tradition, the Special Consensus, the Del McCoury Band, the Spinney Brothers, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.

Sure hope you were able to enjoy Sunday's show, and that you'll make it a point to listen to Jim host our Bluegrass Cafe next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!

Amy O.
