The first Bluegrass Cafe of December 2020 covered a lot of musical territory. We heard selections from the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack (released 20 years ago this month!), as well as songs recorded at Carnegie Hall when Flatt & Scruggs famously performed and recorded there in December 1962. In addition, there were a few classic gospel numbers from the "Original Bluegrass Band," and since it's December, we also included a couple of Christmas tunes. Phew!
heard a lot of classic Bluegrass during this program, we also celebrated a few early December birthdays (Bobby Osborne, Chris Hillman, Vern Williams, Chris Jones) and included a couple of songs released in 2020 from projects by the Feinberg Brothers, Dale Ann Bradley (with and without sometimes-duet partner Tina Adair), Junior Sisk, and a new song from the late Steve Gulley along with Tim Stafford.
We learned this week that we won't be broadcasting from our WHUS studios on campus until at least Summer of 2021, so it looks like we'll be recording from home for a good long while, yet. Hope you are enjoying the "home version" of our radio show, and, as always, I encourage you to keep in touch by sending an email to bgcafe@gmail.com or commenting on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/WHUS.BluegrassCafe).
Thanks for listening, and enjoy your week!
