"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/29/2026

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was probably one of the shortest shows I have presented in more than 25 years of hosting this program.  Why?  Well, it's March, and that generally means that both UConn Basketball teams are participating in the NCAA Tournament (aka "March Madness.")  Today was a day where one team played a game at 1PM and the other was due to start at 5PM.  I opted to come in for the hour, but the Sports Department asked us to trim that just a bit, so we ended up with a 45 minute program.  Still, I included some newer music -- brand new single from the Del McCoury Band! -- as well as a few classic favorites.  Hope you were able to join us for our super-condensed show!

Here's a program note:   both UConn Basketball teams won their games today.  That means there will be more basketball hitting the WHUS airwaves next weekend.  My understanding is this:  IF the UConn Women win their Final Four game on Friday evening (April 3rd), they will play in the National Championship game on Sunday afternoon (April 5th -- Easter Sunday) at 3:30PM.  That means no live Bluegrass Cafe that day at all.  We'll let you know what's happening as soon as we officially know anything.  

Thanks for listening to our abbreviated Bluegrass Cafe!

Have a good week!
