"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/7/2026

The first Sunday of June featured a lot of fine things at our Bluegrass Cafe:  birthday tributes to Tony Rice, Jamie Dailey, Rick Lang, Corrina Rose Logston Stephens, and Clarence White, and also, a first-time-in-a-long-time telephone conversation with Eric Gibson of the Gibson Brothers.  The Gibsons will appear at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival in Goshen, CT on Friday, August 7th.  Hope you were able to join us for this episode.

Thanks for listening!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/8/2025

Early June seems like a good time to celebrate a birthday, so we did quite a bit of that during Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe.  Our show started with several selections featuring the great Tony Rice (June 8, 1951 - December 25, 2020), as even though the man is probably best known for the way he played his guitar, his vocals were always stellar, too.  

Other birthdays we celebrated on Sunday included those of a Bluegrass pioneer who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, Gloria Belle (June 9, 1939 - May 5, 2023), as well as a current singer who may someday be inducted into the Hall of Fame, Jamie Dailey (born June 9, 1975).  And we belatedly celebrated the birthday of a fine New Hampshire songwriter who also happens to be a nice guy, Rick Lang (born June 8, 1947).  Happy Birthday to all!

We spent about 45 minutes of our three hour broadcast today celebrating trains. The romance of the train never seems to go out of style, and we could easily fill a couple of shows with songs about this mode of transportation.  Maybe someday we will do just that.

Next week's Bluegrass Cafe will be one from the archives, but I'll plan to join you once again live in the studio on June 21st.  Hope you have a fine week, and, as always, thanks for listening to our program!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/9/2024

Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays!  We had a whole bunch of them to celebrate during Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe.  In addition to belatedly celebrating the birthdays of award-winning New Hampshire songwriter, Rick Lang (born June 7, 1947) Bluegrass Hall of Famer, Tony Rice (June 8, 1951 - December 25, 2020), we celebrated three Bluegrass folks born on June 9th:  Gloria Belle, Greg Blake, and Jamie Dailey.  There's no better way to celebrate folks than by sharing their music, so that's exactly what we did!  Hope you enjoyed the songs we chose to play.

There was also a healthy portion of brand-new Bluegrass music to share, as well, including tunes from Blue Highway, the Po' Ramblin' Boys, Retro 78, Daniel Grindstaff, and Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road.  In addition, there were recent releases from Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, Jerry Salley, Authentic Unlimited, Tony Trischka, and two selections from the Rick Lang-penned gospel recording.

Hope you were able to join us this past Sunday, but if not, we'll be sure to look for you this Sunday afternoon during our Bluegrass Cafe.    

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/3/2023

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.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/5/2022

Nearly one-half of all of the songs we shared during Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe were played in celebration of someone's birthday.  We also included some newer music during our three-hour program, so hope you were able to join us.

Most of the selections played during Hour #1 of Sunday's show were written and/or co-written by the late power couple of Tom T. Hall (May 25, 1936 - August 20, 2021) and Miss Dixie Hall (May 26, 1934 - January 16, 2015).  The songs they wrote together or separately are noted in green bold print on the  playlist below.  To say these two late members of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame were prolific songwriters seems a bit of an understatement, and in truth, we could easily fill the whole three hours with songs written by only them.  On Sunday, we just limited ourselves to one hour.

There were lots of early June birthdays to celebrate, too, including those of Hazel Dickens, Suzanne Cox, Tony Rice, Clarence White, Charlie Cline, Jamie Dailey, and even the lead singer and main songwriter of the Statler Brothers, Don Reid.

Newer music was heard was heard, as well, from the likes of Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, Laura Orshaw, Authentic Unlimited, Rick Lang, the Po' Ramblin' Boys, and Peter Rowan.

Hope you were able to join us on Sunday, but if not, you'll have another chance this weekend.  We'll see you at 4PM.

Enjoy the week!
