"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/12/2023

It was good to be back on the air for this Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe.  After a fall  on February 28th left me with a pretty deep knee cut, it wasn't possible to do a live radio show on March 5th.  I'm working my way back to "normal" now, so I couldn't miss presenting today's live program.  Hope you enjoyed it.

We spent some time on Sunday remembering Jim Sharpley of Still Pickin', as Jim died suddenly at his winter home in Florida on Thursday.  I've had the pleasure of working with Jim for the last several years at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival.  He was a very nice guy with a wonderful sense of humor and a genuine love for Bluegrass music.  He will be greatly missed.

We also remembered the wonderful Bluegrass songwriter -- Bill Castle -- as he died at the age of 89 at the end of February.  Many performers have recorded Bill Castle-penned songs over the last several years, and we shared many of them on the air on Sunday.

And there was a bit of newer music to share, as well, with tunes from Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Sister Sadie, Jeff Parker & Company, Rock Hearts, the Churchmen, and Larry Sparks.

Hope you were able to join for this show, but if not, we'll hope to see you next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!
