Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was our first for the month of October, and the first show as we begin our 41st year of broadcasting Bluegrass music at WHUS.
For this edition of the program, we belatedly celebrated the September 26th birthday of a Country Music legend, Marty Robbins. We included several Bluegrass covers of Marty Robbins classics -- some songs he wrote and some he did not.
We also celebrated several Bluegrass birthdays from early October, including those of Chubby Wise, Terry Baucom, Blake Williams, Ray Deaton, Sammy Shelor, Johnny Williams, and Lynn Morris.
And we couldn't forget what would have been the 76th birthday of the late Robert Fraker -- a good friend and wonderful musician and songwriter who was one of the founding members of the Bear Bridge Band. Though he has been gone for 5 years now, Robert's music lives forever. We included music from Bear Bridge, as well as a couple of recorded versions of Robert Fraker songs.
We couldn't forget that the IBMA Awards ceremony was held on Thursday, September 28th in Raleigh. We shared music from a few of the winners, including selections from Molly Tuttle, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Del McCoury, Rick Faris, and Dolly Parton.
Thanks for listening, and we'll be looking for you this Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM.
