"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 2/23/2020

The last Sunday of February brought us both some unseasonably warm weather (temps in the 50s), and a full three-hour presentation of our Bluegrass Cafe.  The main "theme" for Sunday was birthday celebrating, as we played lots of songs in honor of the upcoming birthdays this week of Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley, two Country Music Hall of Fame members, as well as a couple of songs in honor of the recent birthday of Dudley Connell, and one tune from Tom Mindte, who celebrated his day on Sunday.  Phew!

The Country Music Hall of Famers in question were both born in 1932 -- one day and about 150 miles apart.  Faron Young was born on February 25, 1932 in Shreveport, Louisiana; Johnny Cash arrived the next day in Kingsland, Arkansas.  Both country music legends have had their music covered in the Bluegrass world over the years, and Cash even recorded some Bluegrass-themed music with his then-son-in-law, Marty Stuart, back in 1982.  

We also played a couple more songs from the brand-new record by Junior Sisk ("Load The Wagon"), as well as a little bit of recent music from Terry Baucom's Dukes Of Drive, the duo of Dale Ann Bradley & Tina Adair, the Po' Ramblin' Boys, and Audie Blaylock & Redline.

Hope you were able to tune in to the show this week.  Next Sunday (March 1st), it appears there may be a UConn Baseball broadcast until around 5:30PM, so we'll be opening our Bluegrass Cafe a bit later than normal.  Still, hope you are able to join us!  Check out our Facebook page for more up-to-date information:  www.facebook.com/WHUS.BluegrassCafe

Have a great week!
