Our Bluegrass Cafe returned to the air today after a one-week absence. Hope you were able to enjoy the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
We didn't have a particular theme or focus for Sunday's show, though we did remember a number of folks with early June birthdays, including those of three Bluegrass Hall of Fame members (Hazel Dickens, Clarence White, Tony Rice).
There was time to pull out a "Letter of the Week" spotlight this show, so in honor of the month of June, we chose the letter "J." As my all-time favorite Johnson Mountain Boys fit quite easily into this category, I really like the letter "J." :) Other important "J" performers (band name or last name) that we played were Merl Johnson, Randy Jones, Sally Jones, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Carl Jackson, Mark Johnson & Clawgrass, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, Thomm Jutz, and Jim & Jesse.
There was a tiny bit of brand-new-to-us music to share, as well, with selections from Dale Ann Bradley, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, Daryl Mosley, and a tribute recording to Murphy Hicks Henry. Recent music was included, too, from Rock Hearts, Lost & Found, Still Pickin', Greg Blake & Hometown, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, and Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers.
Thanks for listening, and have a great week! We'll see you again in our Bluegrass Cafe on Sunday from 4-7PM.
