"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 2/14/2021

 

It's February 14th, so I guess that means it's time to say Happy Valentine's Day!  Hope you've had a nice day surrounded by the things (or people!) you love.  

Our radio show for today included lots of songs concerning matters of the heart -- and so, there were songs both of broken hearts and songs filled with positive love stories.  We may share a few more from both categories in next week's show, so hope you can join us.

February may be a short month, but it is one filled with lots of birthdays to be celebrated.  This week, we shared songs from several birthday celebrants, including Dudley Connell, David Davis, Claire Lynch, Mark Newton, and Don Rigsby.

We also remembered another Country Music Hall of Famer whose birthday would have been celebrated on the day this show was recorded (February 9th) -- Ernest Tubb (February 9, 1914 - September 6, 1984).  E.T.'s songs have been covered by lots of Bluegrass performers over the years, and we shared a few of those in tribute to the Texas Troubadour.

This show was completed and submitted for airplay to WHUS before the sad news came on Thursday of the death of a fine Bluegrass guitar player, and all-around nice young man, Aaron Foster.  If you have ever attended a Bluegrass festival in the northeast over the past 10+ years, you have likely seen Aaron jamming, playing on a stage, or directing a Kids' Academy.  Read this fine remembrance of Aaron (also known as "Frosty") that was published in Bluegrass Today on Thursday, February 11th:  Aaron "Frosty" Foster, gone way too soon at 28 - Bluegrass Today  Sincere condolences to Aaron's family and many friends, and we'll be sure to share some of his music during our broadcast on February 21st.

Enjoy your week, and stay healthy!
