"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 2/24/2019

Not too long before going on the air this afternoon, the news came that one of the true legends in the world of Bluegrass (and Country) music died earlier today.  Mac Wiseman had one of the most distinctive voices in all of Bluegrass music, and was a fine song stylist and performer who achieved much success on both sides of the microphone during his 8+ decades involved in the music industry.  While we didn't have time to pull together a full tribute to "The Voice With A Heart" for this week's show, we will be sure to play lots more music from Mac Wiseman next Sunday.  Hope you can join us.

Though today's show got a late start due to a UConn Basketball broadcast, we still managed to play music in celebration of several birthdays (those of Don Reno, Ralph Stanley, Pete Wernick, and Country Music Hall of Famer Faron Young).  We also remembered a 49-year-old mandolin-playing sideman who died this past week, Alan Perdue.  

Hope to join you for a full three-hour broadcast next Sunday.  In the meantime, have a fine week!
