"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 2/20/2022

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe featured birthday tributes to two members of the Country Music Hall of Fame, two members of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame, and one Dr. Banjo.  We also included newer music, and some songs recorded 50 years ago today that were the first recordings of one of the most celebrated bands in the history of Bluegrass Music.  

We had birthday tributes galore this show, with Bluegrass covers of songs originally performed by two Country Music Hall of Famers who were born one day apart:  Faron Young (February 25, 1932 - December 10, 1996) and Johnny Cash (February 26, 1932 - September 12, 2003).  This week also happens to be the birthday week of two legendary musicians in the Bluegrass Hall of Fame:  Don Reno (February 21, 1927 - October 16, 1984) and Ralph Stanley (February 25, 1927 - June 23, 2016).  In addition, Pete Wernick celebrates a birthday this week (born February 25, 1946).

In addition, we shared two songs that were the very first recordings made by the Seldom Scene.  Both songs were featured on their 1972 Rebel album, "Act I" and were recorded on February 20, 1972.

If all of that wasn't enough, there was some new (or newish) music by Terry Baucom's Dukes Of Drive, Mike Compton, Shannon Slaughter, Linda Lay, Dale Ann Bradley & Danny Paisley, and Rick Lang.

Hope you were able to join us for all or part of today's Bluegrass Cafe, but if not, you've got another chance coming up next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.  See you then.  😁

Enjoy the week!
