"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/27/2018

 

Our Memorial Day Sunday Bluegrass Cafe broadcast may have only been two hours long (instead of three), but we still managed to squeeze in several songs with an appropriate Memorial Day theme.  At some point this weekend, hope you are able to take a moment to remember the reason we celebrate Memorial Day.


New music also played a large part of our broadcast on Sunday.  To that end, we debuted new recordings from Junior Sisk and Del McCoury, as well as singles from Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road and Nightflyer.  In addition, there was new-for-2018 music from Becky Buller, the Feinberg Brothers, and David Davis & the Warrior River Boys.

The plan is for Cathy Day to join you on the air next Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM.  Please be sure to join her, won't you?

Thanks for listening ~ enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/13/2018

With my own mother at Webster's Indian Ranch, sometime in 1989.

On our Mother's Day edition of Bluegrass Cafe, we mainly featured songs about you-know-who:  Mother!  While the entire show was not strictly songs about mothers (those still with us, and those who live only in memory), it's a good estimate that probably 3/4 of the songs were about mom.  In fact, there are still a whole bunch more mother songs that I could/should have played, but we will save them for another week.  Happy Mother's Day to all!

The rest of the show included a few classics, but was mainly music drawn from two new recordings by two terrific traditional Bluegrass bands:  "Party For One" by the Feinberg Brothers and "Didn't He Ramble:  The Songs Of Charlie Poole" by David Davis & the Warrior River Boys.  Expect to hear a whole lot more from both of these great new records over the next few weeks.

Hope you'll consider joining us once again for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe!

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/6/2018

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was supposed to begin at 5PM, as a UConn Baseball broadcast from Memphis was happening.  However, the game was a quick-mover, and so, our show began 30 minutes earlier than we expected, but 30 minutes past the "normal" start time of 4PM.  Does that make any sense?  In the long run, it didn't really make that much difference, as we still managed to stuff a whole lot of fine music into our 150 minutes' time allotment.  Hope you heard something you enjoyed!

We shared a bit of newer (for 2018) music today, including selections from projects by Becky Buller, Special Consensus, the Highland Travelers, Daniel Greeson, the Price Sisters, and Shannon Slaughter.  In addition, it was a great pleasure (and honor!) for us to debut music from the brand new recording from Long Island's Feinberg Brothers.  "Party For One" is the title of the sophomore recording for this terrific traditional band, and we look forward to playing more music from it in future weeks of our program.

Hope you can join us next Sunday afternoon, as we hope to bring you a full three hours of our Bluegrass Cafe.  

Have a good week!
