"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/16/2024

As you might have guessed, Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was all about dear old Dad.  Hope all of you fathers enjoyed a day filled with all of the things that make you happy.

The primary focus was sharing songs performed by lots of Bluegrass fathers and their offspring.  To that end, we included songs from folks named Amos, Armistead, Chapman, Cherryholmes, Cox, Dailey, Eldridge, Emerson, Feinberg, Harrell, Holt, McCoury, McGee, Monroe, Mullins, Paisley, Parmley, Pike, Stanley, Waller, Watson, White, Williams, and Williamson.  We also included a selection from Billy Strings's recording, "Me/And/Dad" - a collection on which he is joined by his stepfather, Terry Barber.  All of these bands just prove that Bluegrass music is definitely a family tradition.

There were also a few songs about fathers (and stepfathers).  And, of course, I had to play a few requests from my own father, Alton Orlomoski.

Bluegrass Hall of Famer Eddie Adcock celebrates birthday #86 this week (born June 21, 1938), so we couldn't NOT share several songs from him.  We included two tunes from Eddie's solo recording that was finally made public a few years ago, as well as from two of his best-known bands, the Country Gentlemen and the Eddie Adcock Band.  Happy Birthday to this legendary banjo picker!  

Hope you'll consider joining us once again next Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.  

Enjoy the week!
