"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/24/2017

The Birthday Boy in 2015 as he played a few tunes
during his Bluegrass Hall of Fame induction.

During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we heard several selections from a Bluegrass Hall of Famer who celebrates his 70th birthday on September 25th:  Larry Sparks.  

Just a little bit of new music to share on Sunday's show

We also shared a whole bunch of fine Bluegrass from 2017 recordings, several of which that were recently added to our WHUS Bluegrass library.  Among these songs were tunes from Bobby Osborne, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Mike Barnett, the Grascals, Steve Gulley & New Pinnacle, Becky Buller, Gina Clowes, Feller & Hill, Flatt Lonesome, Big Country Bluegrass, Eddie Adcock, Nothin' Fancy, Tom Ewing, Mark Kuykendall, Bobby Hicks & Asheville Bluegrass, and the Gibson Brothers.

Hope you enjoyed the show, and that you'll consider joining us once more next Sunday afternoon at 4PM for another visit to our Bluegrass Cafe!
