"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/15/2019

Happy Birthday, Bill Monroe!
(September 13, 1911 - September 9, 1996)

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was dominated by William Smith Monroe, with songs about Bill Monroe, songs written by Bill Monroe, and songs performed by Bill Monroe.  Playing all of this Monroe-related music always seems like an appropriate way to celebrate the September birthday of the man recognized as the Father of Bluegrass.  Hope you were able to join us!

Mid-September isn't just the birth month of Bill Monroe, though, as we also briefly celebrated two Country Music Hall of Famers who have had an incredible influence on Bluegrass music.  There were a few songs from the songbook of the one and only Hank Williams (born September 17, 1923) and one song from the King Of Country Music, Roy Acuff (born September 15, 1903).  Be on the lookout for more Acuff songs during next Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe.

Hope you were able to tune in today, but if not, we sure hope you will consider joining us next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Have a great week!

Amy O.
