"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/17/2024

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe included a three-hour mix of Bluegrass songs old and new.  We included two separate song sets celebrating both St. Patrick's Day and the First Day of Spring.  Around the midway point, we had a telephone visit with Michelle Canning, a Massachusetts-born musician/songwriter who now makes her home in Nashville, and this coming weekend, is hosting her 13th annual Night On The Edge benefit for the Alzheimer's Foundation of America.  If you would like to know more about this worthy cause, please click on this link.

Marti & Jim at WHUS - November 2006

We remembered the late Al Jones with some of his music, and we sent out a couple of songs in honor of Marti Harmon, the wife of our former "Bluegrass Cafe" show co-host, Jim Beaver, as Marti passed from this world on March 12th.  Jim and Marti also were the creators and hosts of the delightful "Red Rooster Party" on WHUS for several years.  Simply put, Marti was an amazing lady who did so many interesting things during her lifetime.  If you would like to read Marti's lovely obituary, please do.  Rest in peace, Marti.

Both UConn basketball teams are getting ready to play in the NCAA tournament beginning this weekend, and with tournament action, that always means there is a possibility of our radio show being preempted.  We'll keep you posted if that happens as soon as we find out.

Enjoy the rest of the week, and we'll hope to have you join us on Sunday afternoon.
