Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe got an unexpected (to me) delayed start due to the WHUS broadcast of a UConn Women's Basketball semifinal game in the 2024 Big East Tournament. In the days before COVID, it was not at all unusual for our showtime to be preempted during basketball season at UConn, but that hasn't happened all that often in recent years...until yesterday. We began the show around 4:30PM, so hope you were still able to enjoy 150 minutes of Bluegrass music on Sunday afternoon.
International Women's Day was celebrated on March 8th, and while we could -- and should -- devote more airtime to the music of Bluegrass Women, we took a few minutes on Sunday to belatedly celebrate a few of the fine women in Bluegrass music. To that end, we heard music from Becky Buller, Wilma Lee Cooper, Hazel Dickens, Alice Gerrard, Alison Krauss, Laurie Lewis, Claire Lynch, Lynn Morris, Laura Orshaw, and Rhonda Vincent.
And there was some new music to share, too, this time from a new band named Red Camel Collective, as well as newer selections from the Price Sisters, Barry Abernathy (from the forthcoming Rick Lang-penned Gospel recording), Volume Five, Darren Nicholson, Michelle Canning, the Tennessee Bluegrass Band, the Travelin' McCourys, Missy Raines & Allegheny, and Junior Sisk.
It was a busy, abbreviated show! Sure hope you could join us, but if not this week, then I hope you'll seek out our next broadcast on Sunday, March 17th. We should have three big hours of Bluegrass Cafe to share beginning at 4PM.
Until then, have a great week!
