As we waited for an early March snowstorm in eastern Connecticut, we opened Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe with an hour's worth of music from the Mac Wiseman Songbook. The two-time Hall of Famer may have died one week ago at the age of 93, but his music will live with us forever. On Sunday, we shared songs from Mac's earliest recording days with Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs and Bill Monroe, songs recorded with duet partners as varied as Merle Haggard, John Prine, and Bill Harrell, and selections from Mac's 2016 "autobiography in song" collection from Mountain Fever Records, "I Sang The Song." Want to learn more about "The Voice With A Heart?" Mac's 2015 autobiography is titled, All My Memories Fit For Print.
Hope you enjoyed the show. Please consider joining us next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.
Enjoy the week!
