"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/26/2021

For our last Bluegrass Cafe of 2021, we shared songs of the season, as well as a few Bluegrass favorites of the year, and a few songs in honor of some late December birthday celebrants.  Hope you had a great Christmas.

Our program for this week was recorded at home on December 21st, several days before we learned of the Christmas Eve passing of the legendary banjo player and band leader, J.D. Crowe.  Our program for the first Sunday of 2022 will include a tribute to this Bluegrass Hall of Famer, as well as a remembrance of several of the other Bluegrass performers and legends that were lost during 2021.  At this point, we are unsure if that show will be a home-made one or a live edition, but either way, sure hope you will consider joining us.

Enjoy your week, and we'll see you next Sunday for the beginning of a new year of our Bluegrass Cafe!

Happy New Year!

"Classic Country Christmas" encore - 12/18/2021

It's that time again...Christmas!!  What a year we've had, eh?  Hope you all are doing well and getting ready to celebrate the big day in whatever way you like.

As the UConn campus is closed on Sundays for the next few weeks, and our building access is not quite settled for those closed times, we will be returning to "home recording" for the time being.  Time will tell how long this will last.  In the meantime, our December 18th broadcast was devoted to a re-airing of three "Classic Country Christmas" hours I produced at home in December 2020.  Hope you enjoyed them!  

This coming Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe will be recorded either this evening or Wednesday evening, but it should be fresh for your listening on Boxing Day -- Sunday, December 26th -- from 4-7PM.

Until then, warmest wishes to you and yours for a very Merry Christmas!!

Amy O.

P.S.  What follows is the post I made in December 2020 when these "Classic Country Christmas" hours first were presented.  Read on...

Every year, I love to play some of my favorite country Christmas music during our Bluegrass Cafe "Christmas Extravaganza."  This year, though, I didn't have to limit myself to playing just a couple of country Christmas songs mixed in at the Bluegrass Cafe, as some gaps in our WHUS broadcast schedule (plus, home recording) allowed me to record three separate one-hour programs featuring (mostly) nothing but classic country Christmas music.  WHUS has aired these shows a few times over the past few days, so hope the songs added a bit of joy to some Christmas celebrations.  

As for the songs I chose to play this year, there were selections from lots of favorite Christmas recordings of my childhood, as well as a few "newer" tunes (newest from 1993), and even more songs recorded many years before I was born.  It was a fun mix.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas, and we'll see you again on the Bluegrass Cafe.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/12/2021

For Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we shared birthday music, as well as tunes from 2021 recordings and lots of classic favorites.  As we get closer to the holiday, we also added more Christmas music into the mix, including a few new Christmas tunes introduced in 2021 from Jerry Salley & Family, Becky Buller, and Williamson Branch.  During next Sunday's program -- the last before December 25th -- we'll likely play all Christmas music.  Hope you can join us!

Enjoy your week, and thanks a bunch for listening!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/5/2021

This past Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe began with music written by, performed by, and written about one of the most cherished voices in the history of Bluegrass music, the late Carter Stanley (August 27, 1925 - December 1, 1966).  While the elder guitar-playing Stanley brother has been gone for a greater number of years than he was alive, his music and his legacy continue to grow.  

Our show also included a few cover songs in tribute to the late Stonewall Jackson (the honky tonk singer and long-time Grand Ole Opry member, as opposed to the Civil War General) who passed on December 4th at the age of 89.

There were a couple of newer songs to share, too, including brand-new Christmas music from the pen of Rick Lang, as well as a new seasonal song from Tammy Rogers & Thomm Jutz.  In addition, there was newer non-Christmas music from Valerie Smith, Volume Five, Seth Mulder & Midnight Run, and James Reams.

Hope you enjoyed something you heard during the program.  Please consider joining me once again this coming Sunday, 4-7PM.
