As you might expect, Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe featured a whole lot of music from several newly-minted IBMA Award winners for 2024. I had the pleasure of travelling to Raleigh, North Carolina for four days last week and was able to take in a good portion of the World of Bluegrass festivities. Fun times. This was the very last WoB event that will be held in Raleigh, and I was delighted to be there. While there, I attended some useful workshops, heard lots of great music from lots of fine bands, visited a bit with our old WHUS pal, Jim Beaver, and witnessed my broadcasting friend, Katy Daley, being inducted into the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame. It was an outstanding week.
Two 2024 Bluegrass Hall of Famers --
Katy Daley & Alan Munde --
with one of their many fans.
If you missed the IBMA Awards Show from last Thursday evening, the YouTube link of the show can be found here. Check it out.
In addition to sharing some music from CDs we brought back from Raleigh, we also belatedly celebrated the birth anniversary of the great Marty Robbins (September 26, 1925 - December 8, 1982). Though this Country Music Hall of Fame member performed lots of styles of music, Bluegrass wasn't really one of them. Still, many of his songs have been covered by Bluegrass performers, so we shared a whole bunch of them from performers including the Gibson Brothers, the Spinney Brothers, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Jim Hurst, the Johnson Mountain Boys, and Special Consensus.
Hope you'll consider joining me once again this coming Sunday for another fun three-hour edition of our Bluegrass Cafe. We'll see you at 4PM.
Enjoy the week!
