Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe featured a whole bunch of fine music, including some birthday celebrations, some new music, some classic favorites, and a remembrance of a Bluegrass veteran who passed in late July.
In the latter category, we remembered the late Dick Smith (October 4, 1943 - July 28, 2022). We shared music from three different bands with whom Mr. Smith had worked over the years, including the Country Store, Del McCoury & the Dixie Pals, and the Country Gentlemen. There is a Gents' video that was recently shared on YouTube which features the group's 1984 lineup of Waller/Yates/Gaudreau/Smith. If you have time to watch it, here's the link: https://youtu.be/XfocBkA9x7s
New and recent music was part of the mix on Sunday, and we included selections from Russ Carson, the Stoney Creek Bluegrass Band, Route 3, Darren Beachley, Corey Zink, Dave Adkins, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Laura Orshaw, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, and the Tennessee Bluegrass Band.
Hope you were able to tune in on Sunday. Also, hope to see you this weekend at the 25th edition of the Podunk Bluegrass Festival in Goshen, CT. It should be a dandy!
Have a good week!
