"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/10/2017

William Smith Monroe (9/13/1911-9/9/1996)

In short, Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe featured numerous birthday remembrances and tributes, including Bluegrass versions of songs by a couple of Country Music Hall of Famers with September birthdays (Jimmie Rodgers, Roy Acuff), as well as one song each from four well-known Bluegrass performers who celebrate birthdays this week (Paul Adkins, Bill Harrell, James King, Lou Reid).  Country Music Hall of Famer Don Williams -- the "Gentle Giant" -- died on September 8th, and we remembered him with four Bluegrass covers of his songs.  The rest of our playlist was pretty Monroe-centric, as we featured several gospel and non-gospel songs from the great Bill Monroe Song Catalog (born September 13, 1911).  

And if all of that wasn't enough, we also

The first Mile Twelve CD will be
officially released in October 2017.  

included a tune from the soon-to-be-officially-released recording by New England favorites, Mile Twelve.  Phew!

Hope you have a fine week!  We'll be looking for you again next Sunday afternoon in our Bluegrass Cafe!
