"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/11/2022

We're a bit late in getting this playlist posted, but last Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was pretty Monroe-centric, as we celebrated a bit early the 111th birth anniversary of the Father of Bluegrass Music, Bill Monroe.  We remembered Big Mon with songs performed by him, songs written by him and covered by others, and songs written about him (and his mandolin).  Suffice it to say that there would not be a Bluegrass Cafe were in not for the life of William Smith Monroe.

Bill Monroe's was not the only birthday we celebrated on Sunday.  We also shared songs from other mid-September birthday celebrants, including Lou Reid, Michael Cleveland, Bill Harrell, and the gone-too-soon Aaron "Frosty" Foster.  

A bit of newer music was included, too, with selections from Nothin' Fancy, Mason Via, Jr Williams, Anthony Howell, Amanda Cook, Apple & Setser, and Larry Efaw & the Bluegrass Mountaineers.

Hope you enjoyed the show, and please consider joining me once again this coming Sunday, 4-7PM.

See you then!
