"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/16/2023

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was one with no particular direction, so we turned it into a "Spotlight Letter" Day.  This time around, the letter was "S," and to that end, we found recordings from 30+ "S" performers to share.  To qualify, either the performer's surname or their band name had to start with an "S."  Among the featured performers were the Stanley Brothers (of course!), Herschel Sizemore, Larry Stephenson, the Spinney Brothers, Special Consensus, Billy Strings, Straight Drive, Larry Sparks, Sister Sadie, and several others.  We stretched things a bit, too, and included two fine Bluegrass Hall of Fame sets of partners:  Earl Scruggs & Lester Flatt, as well as Red Smiley & Don Reno.

We included a bit of newer and recent music, as well, with newer recordings from Rick Faris, Cedar Hill, the Goodwin Brothers, and Boone & Foster, and recent selections from Greg Blake & Hometown, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, and Still Pickin'.

And we couldn't forget the upcoming birthday of the great Doyle Lawson (born April 20, 1944), either, so we played a couple of songs from the original Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.

Hope you enjoyed the show, and that
you'll consider joining us once again on Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!
