"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/13/2024

During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, for the second time in two shows, we featured not just one but two Letters of the Week.  Those letters were "M" and "N," and so, we played music from Jimmy Martin to Bill Monroe and the Nashville Bluegrass Band to Nu-Blu.  Selecting these letters is a very good way to put more emphasis on performers we don't get to hear every week, and we can really concentrate on the recordings we own in very specific range.  In truth, this week we were inspired to choose the letter "N," as I wanted to play music from Northern Lights.  I'm probably one of the few folks in Connecticut who didn't actually see the northern lights this past week, so figured it would be fun to play them if I hadn't actually seen them.  :)

There was a little bit of new music to share this week, too -- most notably a brand new recording from Rock Hearts called "Unfinished Bridges."  Other newer music we heard came from Avery Welter, Woody Platt, Amanda Cook, Daryl Moseley, and Route 3.

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

Have a great week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/3/2024

Sunday was a gorgeous, early March day with weather that made folks think spring had arrived in eastern Connecticut.  It also happened to be the 101st birth anniversary of the one and only Arthel Lane"Doc" Watson (March 3, 1923 - May 29, 2012), so how could we not both start and finish our Bluegrass Cafe with loads of music from Doc's vast catalog?

Doc Watson was not the only Bluegrass Hall of Famer whose birthday was celebrated this week, though.  The great, super-unique John Duffey would have turned 90 years old this week (March 4, 1934 - December 10, 1996).  We remembered John with several selections featuring him from both the Country Gentlemen and the Seldom Scene.

The award-winning fiddler Bronwyn Keith-Hynes also celebrated a birthday this week, so we shared music from both her first record and her forthcoming one.

And if all of that wasn't enough, we pulled out another Feature Letter of the Week.  In this case, we shared music from lots of fine "M" performers, whose last name or band name begins with the letter "M."  This means we included music from everyone from Bill Monroe to Muleskinner, Jimmy Martin to Lynn Morris, Del McCoury to Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, and many, many other fine "M" performers.  Check out the playlist for more details.

Hope you enjoyed the show, and please consider joining me once again this coming Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.

Enjoy the week!
