Homemade edition #48 of our Bluegrass Cafe featured a whole lot of fine Bluegrass music -- as you would expect, right? Hope were you able to join us for this last Sunday edition for the month of March 2021.
As we often do, we had a couple of birthdays to celebrate this week. In addition to those of Bluegrassers Phil Leadbetter and Dale Perry, we celebrated Bluegrass Hall of Famer Paul Williams (born March 30, 1935), and several Bluegrass-style versions of songs from the late Country Music Hall of Famer, William Orville "Lefty" Frizzell (March 31, 1928 - July 19, 1975).
If you weren't able to listen to the show today, we sure hope you'll be able to tune in next Sunday afternoon -- Easter Sunday, already! -- for a very special Bluegrass Gospel Hour.
Have a wonderful week!
