"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/31/2021

One week after the passing of the great Roland "Sonny" Osborne (October 24, 1937 - October 24, 2021), during this day's Bluegrass Cafe, we remembered his life and legacy with a whole lot of his music:  songs he recorded during his long, award-winning career with his brother, Bobby; his sister, Louise; with Red Allen; and while he was a teenage member of Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys.  There will never be another Sonny Osborne, that's for certain.  In recent years, if you've not been reading his "Ask Sonny Anything" column in Bluegrass Today, you owe it to yourself to go back and read through the archives.  To do that, follow this link ~ and enjoy!  

Today also happens to be Halloween, so on what other day would it be better to play spooky stories-in-song?  To that end, we played more than a dozen songs featuring tales of ghostly girls, ghostly men, even ghostly trains.  We even through in some spooky, unexplained lights, and some creepy footsteps.  Hope you've had a happy Halloween with more emphasis on the treats than the tricks!

Please consider joining me once more next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.  Until then, have a great week!
