"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 11/29/2020

Our last Bluegrass Cafe for November 2020 was mainly a freeform show, but included a few songs of thanks, two or three new Christmas selections for this season, and a couple of songs in farewell to a country singer who passed this week.  Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving!

Generally -- at least at my house, anyway -- the Christmas season doesn't really begin until the day after Thanksgiving.  Truth be told, though, I will listen to Christmas music any time of year, but I don't generally share it on the radio until after Thanksgiving.  To that end, we will be sharing Bluegrass Christmas songs for the next several weeks during our program time, and will include newer music, too.  Earlier this year, Connecticut's own Amy Gallatin decided to put together a record of holiday favorites.  She calls her CD, "'Tis The Season," and we shared two selections from the recording during today's show.  We also included new Christmas music from Darin & Brooke Aldridge.  

On the day this show was recorded, we learned of the passing of country/Americana performer, Hal Ketchum (April 9, 1953 - November 23, 2020).  This singer/songwriter had a couple of big hits in the country music world in the early 1990s and was a member of the Grand Ole Opry.  We remembered him with a Bluegrass cover of perhaps Hal Ketchum's best-known song, as well as a song that Hal recorded with Ralph Stanley on Ralph's "Clinch Mountain Country" collection.  Rest in peace.

As always, we included several songs from projects released in 2020, including music from Special Consensus, the Kody Norris Show, the Sharp Flatpickers, Jay Armsworthy & Eastern Tradition, Fast Track, High Fidelity, and Balsam Range.

Thanks for listening, and have a wonderful week.

Stay healthy!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 11/22/2020

Can you believe Thanksgiving is just a few days away?  While the holiday may be a bit different for most of us during this pandemic year, my hope is that you can  find at least one thing to be thankful for in your life.  As always, I am thankful that I can still present a Bluegrass Cafe every Sunday and that you're willing to listen.  Thanks!

The song selection for today's show was kind of random, but included (as always) a bunch of older favorites peppered with a dash of newer music from 2020 from the likes of High Fidelity, Edgar Loudermilk, Jay Armsworthy & Eastern Tradition, Becky Buller, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, Jerry Salley, Phil Leadbetter & the All-Stars Of Bluegrass, and J.B. & Jamie Dailey.  

We also remembered the November birthdays of Charlie Sizemore (born November 23, 1960) and Eddie Stubbs (November 25, 1961).  If it's your birthday, Happy Birthday to you, too!

Hope you have a great week, and a Happy Thanksgiving!

Stay healthy!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 11/15/2020

Our Bluegrass Cafe for this Sunday included lots of great music -- maybe even some of your favorites?  Hope so!

The birthday spotlight today was shown on a multi-award-winning songwriter and performer, Larry Cordle.  Known as the "Mighty Cord," Larry Cordle has performed both with his own band (Lonesome Standard Time) and had songs recorded by many country music singers (Ricky Skaggs, Garth Brooks, Kathy Mattea) and Bluegrass performers (James King and Doyle Lawson, just to name a couple).  He celebrates his birthday on November 16th, so we enjoyed a dozen songs written, co-written, or performed by Larry Cordle.

This week's emphasis wasn't so much on 2020-released music, but there was
some of it.  Among the newer songs we heard this week were selections from Rock Hearts, Junior Sisk, Fast Track, Terry Baucom's Dukes Of Drive, Stephen Mougin, the Kody Norris Show, High Fidelity, the Feinberg Brothers, Carolina Blue, the Scott Vestal-led project called Bluegrass 2020, and a brand new song from a solo recording by Jesse Brock.

Hope you are all doing well, and that you'll stay that way.  Thanks for listening to our radio show ~ please consider joining us once more next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 11/8/2020

Thank you, Veterans!

What a gorgeous November Sunday!  Not sure where you might be, but we've been enjoying some record-breaking warm temperatures and sunny skies here in eastern Connecticut this weekend, so hope you as fortunate.  Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe found us "trucking" through another pre-recorded show filled with songs about soldiers in honor of Veterans Day coming up on November 11th, as well as a few newer selections for 2020, and a couple of Bluegrass classics, as well.  Hope you were able to join us!

Even though 2020 has really been a miserable year to see and hear "live" Bluegrass, there still have been a number of really fine new recordings released over the past few months.  We shared songs from a few of those during this show, including selections from Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, Merle Monroe, the Feinberg Brothers, Junior Sisk, High Fidelity, J.B. & Jamie Dailey, FastTrack, and Balsam Range.

For those who might be interested in knowing more about a November 22nd "live" show from Nova Scotia's Spinney Brothers, here's what I know:  this concert will take place "live" on the YouTube page of Canadian folk singer, J.P. Cormier (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=j.p.+cormier).  The show will take place on Sunday, November 22nd at 7PM Atlantic (6PM Eastern).  There will be a virtual "tip jar" set up, should you care to watch the Spinneys' show.

Hope you enjoyed today's show, and that you'll be sure to join us once again next Sunday afternoon:  4-7PM.

Enjoy the week ~ stay healthy!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 11/1/2020

It's November 1st!  Did you remember to set your clocks back an hour?  If not, consider this your friendly reminder.  :)

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe featured birthday songs for two October 29th celebrants, Martha Adcock and Sonny Osborne, as well as several songs from the pen (and one or two from the performance) of Country Music Hall of Famer, Bill Anderson (born November 1, 1937).

In addition, we shared a good portion of newer Bluegrass music, with a song from California Bluegrasser Matt Dudman, a tribute song from an all-star grouping (Sacred Reunion) in tribute to the late Steve Gulley, and new music from Terry Baucom's Dukes Of Drive, Jerry Salley, The Dillards, Rhonda Vincent, High Fidelity, J.B. & Jamie Dailey, Phil Leadbetter & the All Stars Of Bluegrass, and Carolina Road.  

Hope you have a great week, and that you'll be sure to join us once again next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Stay healthy!
