"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 2/19/2023

For Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we included nearly 30 minutes' worth of music from five different records.  This looks to be a continuing occasional feature every few works in 2023.  Today's albums were from Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs, the Stanley Brothers, Benny & Vallie Cain, the Osborne Brothers, and the Country Gentlemen.

There were lots of mid-February Bluegrass birthdays to celebrate on this day, as well, as we played songs from Mark Newton, Claire Lynch, and four important Bluegrass banjo pickers:  Little Roy Lewis, Don Reno, Ralph Stanley, and Pete Wernick.  

New music was highlighted from the likes of Michael Cleveland, Starlett & Big John, Daryl Mosley, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, and Audie Blaylock & Redline.

And we pulled out the "Spotlight Letter" occasional feature this week.  Letter F (for "February") was chosen, and to that end, we shared music from "F" performers including Front Range, Flatt Lonesome, Bela Fleck, Lester Flatt (of course!), Aaron Foster, Feller & Hill, Front Range, Rick Faris, the Forbes Family, the Feinberg Brothers, and several others.

Hope you were able to join us, but if not, we'll be looking for you next Sunday, 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!
