"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/3/2022

It's a new month for our Bluegrass Cafe -- no fooling!  

The main focus for today's program was remembering the wonderful Roland White -- a Bluegrass Hall of Famer who has been an important part of many bands, from working with his brothers in the Kentucky Colonels to being a sideman with both Bill Monroe and Lester Flatt to spending 10+ years with both the Country Gazette and the Nashville Bluegrass Band to fronting his own band.  By all accounts, Roland White was a very kind man, and super-encouraging to many performers who would come after him.  He will be missed, but we will always have his legacy and 60+ years of music.  Coming up in June 2022, the University of Illinois Press is scheduled to release Mandolin Man:  The Bluegrass Life Of Roland White by Bob Black.  It should be a great read about a life well-lived.  

In addition, we shared a bit of newer music from a recording featuring a guitarist by the name of Bob Minner.  We also included new or recent music from the Del McCoury Band, Shannon Slaughter, Laura Orshaw, Volume Five, Authentic Unlimited, Special Consensus, and Rick Lang.

Next Sunday's show will start a bit later than 4PM, as there will be a UConn Baseball game until approximately 4:30PM.  Please join me then.

Thanks, and have a good week!
