Our 52nd "homemade" Bluegrass Cafe featured a whole lot of fine Bluegrass music of both the classic and newer variety. Hope you were able to join us!
We shared several songs featuring the late Phil Zimmerman -- a Connecticut musician who passed on April 23rd. Phil was an enthusiastic performer with several bands over the years (including Traver Hollow, from whom we heard several selections), and was also a top-notch photographer who travelled to many of the first Bluegrass festivals in the 1960s. Phil recently made a generous donation of his Bluegrass photographs and ephemera to the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame so that future generations will be able to enjoy his works.

picker well-known to Phil Zimmerman
There was some good newer music to be heard during Sunday's broadcast, too, including selections from the Industrial Strength Bluegrass recording, Eddie Sanders, Matt Dudman, Dale Ann Bradley, Amanda Cook, Lakeside, Greg Blake, Steve Gulley & Tim Stafford, the Po' Ramblin' Boys, and a couple of tracks from the brand new recording from Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass.
Thanks for listening, and please consider joining me once more next Sunday, won't you? 4-7PM is the time and WHUS is the place.
Have a good week!
