"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/10/2017

Brand new Bluegrass Christmas music for 2017 from
Balsam Range
For the first time in three weeks, our Bluegrass Cafe ran a full three hours.  In short, we played a whole bunch of fine music, including classic favorites, selections from 2017 recordings, and a few Bluegrass Christmas songs.  Hope you got a chance to listen!

The plan is to have next week's radio show be hosted by Cathy Day with son Keegan.  I hope to join you for another Bluegrass Cafe on Christmas Eve from 4-7PM.  

In the meantime, enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/3/2017 (plus, Cathy Day's shortened 11/26 playlist)

For the past two Sundays of our Bluegrass Cafe, we have had abbreviated broadcasts due primarily to UConn Basketball broadcasts.  This is not unusual this time of year, but we will do our best to inform you beforehand of when those preemptions will take place.  Thanks to Cathy and Keegan Day who waited around to present a shortened Bluegrass Cafe on November 26th.  Their playlist can be found by clicking here.

On the first Sunday of December, we started what would be our 21-song, 1:05 broadcast with a few Bluegrass Christmas selections.  We even included a brand-new-for-2017 tune for Christmas from Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers.  The rest of the show's playlist included several classic numbers, some gospel songs, a request, and a couple of selections from 2017 recordings.  

We hope to present a full three-hour show this coming Sunday afternoon at WHUS, so hope you can join me from 4-7PM on Sunday afternoon!  

Enjoy what's left of the week!
