"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/23/2020

As you know, we've been pre-recording our Bluegrass Cafe programs since mid-April.  Up until April, every one of the radio programs I have ever done since starting as a college broadcaster in late 1988 have been produced "live," so this recording thing is completely new to me.  My apologies for all of the background noise with cricket sounds and loud trucks you might hear in the background of our shows, but we are grateful to have the opportunity to still present a weekly radio program.  The show is put together in three separate parts on Monday, Tuesday, and/or Wednesday evenings on my porch.  I'm sharing that because the first two hours of today's show featured celebrations of four August birthday celebrants (Jimmy Martin, Steve Martin, Connie Smith, Porter Wagoner) and a good portion of new music released during 2020.  Those hours were recorded on Monday night.  By the time we got around to producing the Hour #3 on Wednesday night, the sad passing of Steve Gulley had taken place.  We intend to pay full tribute to this wonderfully gifted singer and songwriter during next week's show, but for today, we hope you enjoyed our brief tribute to Steve Gulley in the first segment of our Gospel Hour.  

Even though 2020 is a terrible year for performing live, many performers have been releasing new music this year.  We included a few of those in this show, with songs from Rhonda Vincent, Stephen Mougin, Carolina Blue, Wood & Wire, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, High Fidelity, J.B. & Jamie Dailey, Laurie Lewis, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, and Becky Buller.

Thanks for listening.  If you would like to get in touch, please do.  Send an email to bgcafe@gmail.com and/or please give our Facebook page a "like":  www.facebook.com/WHUS.BluegrassCafe.

Enjoy the week!
