"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 11/2/2025

Our first Bluegrass Cafe for the month of November started with a few leftover songs of Bluegrass ghosts and murders, as Halloween was only two days before our show aired.  We didn't hold that ghostly "theme" for too long, though, as we had plenty more ground to cover during Sunday's radio visit.

Late October and early November Bluegrass birthdays were celebrated, including those of the late Sonny Osborne, as well as another Bluegrass Hall of Fame/banjo picker Alan Munde, and a couple of other fine folks:  Martha Adcock, Allen Mills, and Junior Sisk.  

As we do around November 1st every year, we remembered the 87th birthday of ol' Whisperin' Bill Anderson, whose wonderful songwriting has been enjoyed since the great Ray Price recorded Bill's tune, "City Lights" in 1958.  What an amazing career this Grand Ole Opry legend has had, and we shared eight fine Bluegrass covers of some of his classic tunes, as well as some more-recent selections.  

There was just a small portion of newer music to share during Sunday's show, most notably a couple of selections from the newest Bluegrass(ish) endeavor of Steve Martin -- a fine duet record he has made with the great Alison Brown called, "Safe, Sensible and Sane"  There was also newer music from Echo Valley, Ralph Stanley II & the Clinch Mountain Boys, Edgar Loudermilk, and Grasstime.

UConn Women's Basketball will be heard during our normal 4-7PM timeslot this coming Sunday, November 9th.  We hope to return with a brand-new Bluegrass Cafe on November 16th.  See you then!

Thanks for listening!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/19/2025

During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we celebrated several October birthdays, the 50th anniversary of a Chicago-based Bluegrass band, and remembered a New England Bluegrass fixture.  Hope you were able to join us for our weekly radio visit.

The October birthdays we celebrated this week included those of Bob Amos, Larry Stephenson, the late Don Parmley, and Eric Gibson.  We also took a few minutes to remember the entertaining Lewis Marshall Jones - better known as "Everybody's Favorite Grandpa," Grandpa Jones.  

The Special Consensus is celebrating 50 years as a band, and formally celebrated with a big concert this past Saturday evening, wherein several Special C alumni performed with the current members.  Congratulations to Special C founder Greg Cahill for keeping this band vital and performing for half a century!

Dave Helman.

We also remembered a fine musician and human being who passed on October 16th:  Alton "Bear" Acker.  Bear led a band in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts for many years that was known as Billings Gap.  During his later performing years, he was a sideman with such bands as Thunder Mountain Bluegrass and Acoustic Blue.  Bear will be missed, but was fondly remembered during our broadcast.  And, as always, big thank you to Dave Shaw for helping provide some of the music we played during this tribute set.

Reminder:  if you would like to go back and listen to the archival broadcast of our Bluegrass Cafe, you have two weeks from the date of the original show's airing.  In the case of Sunday's show, here's the direct link to an archived version of the show:  Bluegrass Cafe Sun Oct 19 with Amy Orlomoski on WHUS Radio

Enjoy the weekend, and we'll look forward visiting you once again on the radio this coming Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.

See you then -

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/5/2025

Before we open up our Bluegrass Cafe for another session on October 12th, here's a quick review of the October 5th show:

We spent a good amount of time celebrating early-to-mid-October birthdays of a good number of Bluegrass folks, including those of Billy Strings, Johnny Williams, Terry Baucom, Ray Deaton, Josh Crowe, Lynn Morris, Barry Berrier, Sammy Shelor, Kent Dowell, and Leigh Gibson.  Songs were shared from all of those performers.

The late Robert Fraker was a wonderful musician and great friend whose birth anniversary was celebrated during the October 5th show.  Though Robert died in May 2017, we remembered him and his October 1st birthday with lots of his songs recorded by his band (the Bear Bridge Band), as well as performed by others, including Valerie Smith & Becky Buller, Chris Brashear & Peter McLaughlin, and the Feinberg Brothers.  

And, as we often like to do, we remembered the centennial birth anniversary of a true music legend (and member of the Country Music Hall of Fame):  Marty Robbins (September 26, 1925 - December 8, 1982).  Many songs from the vast catalog of Marty Robbins have been covered over the years in the world of Bluegrass, and we shared several of them that have been recorded by the Gibson Brothers, Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, the Special Consensus, Jim Hurst, the Johnson Mountain Boys, and the Spinney Brothers.  

Hope you'll consider joining me once again on the radio on October 12th!  We'll be there starting at 4PM with another Bluegrass Cafe...

Until then - 
Amy O.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/27/2024

During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we celebrated Halloween a few days early.  Around this time each year, it always seems appropriate to play several ghost story-type songs, and so we did.  We included a couple of different versions of some of these songs, so sure hope you enjoyed 'em.  Of course, the quintessential ghost story is that one that was co-written by the late John Duffey and first released on record by the Country Gentlemen in 1966.  Click here to see a clip of the Classic Country Gentlemen performing this tune at a reunion show in 1992.  And, of course, Happy Halloween!

There was a bit of newer music to share during this day's show, as well.  We heard brand-new music from Bob Minner featuring Jesse Smathers and Stephen & Jana Mougin.  There was also recent music from Laurie Lewis, Adam McIntosh, the Grascals, Dan Tyminski, and Tony Trischka.

And there were a few birthdays to celebrate, too, including those of Bluegrass Hall of Famer, Sonny Osborne (October 29, 1937 - October 21, 2021), as well as Martha Adcock (born October 29, 1949), Joe Mullins (born October 27, 1965), and New England Bluegrass legend, the late Fred Pike (October 27, 1932 - March 5, 1997).  

Hope you'll consider joining us for this Sunday's edition of our program.  We'll hope to see you at 4PM for another Bluegrass Cafe.

Until then, enjoy the rest of the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/23/2022

Though it took me forever to post last Sunday's playlist for our Bluegrass Cafe, this week's list will be posted much quicker.  :)  During Sunday's show, we remembered "Everybody's Grandpa," Lewis Marshall ("Grandpa") Jones with several songs both performed by and written by him.  Though this Country Music Hall of Famer was born in Kentucky and played a banjo, he certainly isn't considered a "Bluegrass performer," but he definitely is "Bluegrass-friendly."  

There was a bit of newer music in this week's program, as well, with selections from a forthcoming recording by Billy Strings (with his father, Terry Barber), as well as recent releases from Darren Beachley, the Tim Raybon Band, the Kody Norris Show, and Seth Mulder & Midnight Run.

Hope you have a fine week.  We'll be looking for you next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/16/2022

Here it is, October 23rd, and I still haven't posted our playlist from the Bluegrass Cafe of last Sunday, October 16th!  Sheesh.

Earlene Pike (10/15/1953 - 8/11/1972)

Our highlight from the show on the 16th was sharing some music from the late Earlene Pike (October 15, 1953 - August 11, 1972).  Though this native of Sterling, CT left this world very young, her music will always be remembered and shared on our Bluegrass Cafe program.  Thanks to her brother, Gordon Pike, for keeping the Pike legacy of fine music going.

The rest of the playlist included songs for October birthday celebrants, as well as newer music from the Kody Norris Show, Chris Davis, Larry Cordle, Junior Sisk, and the Appalachian Road Show.

Check out a new edition of our program this afternoon from 4-7PM.  We'll see you then!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/9/2022

As you might expect, the Coal Miner's Daughter, Loretta Lynn, figured prominently into our programming during Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe.  Though Loretta was a Kentucky girl and was an admirer of Bill Monroe, her songs were so uniquely suited to her that there aren't so many covers of her material in the Bluegrass world.  Still, we found a dozen Loretta Lynn tunes to play in her honor, both Bluegrass covers of her songs and from Loretta, herself.  She was an original, a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, and her loss will be felt forever.  Still, how fortunate we are to have been able to enjoy her music and her talents for as long as we did.  

We also remembered several folks with early- to mid-October birthdays, including Jason Barie, Barry Berrier, Josh Crowe, Kent Dowell, Leigh Gibson, and John Lennon.  And there was a bit of newer or recent music from several folks, including a brand-new song from Sister Sadie, as well as recent releases from Appalachian Road Show, Junior Sisk, Rock Hearts, Rick Lang (with Becky Buller), Seth Mulder & Midnight Run, and the Little Roy & Lizzy Show.

Hope you were able to join us for Sunday's show, but if not, you've got another chance coming up this weekend.  We'll see you Sunday from 4-7PM.

See you then!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/2/2022

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was our first for the month of October, and the first show as we begin our 41st year of broadcasting Bluegrass music at WHUS.  

For this edition of the program, we belatedly celebrated the September 26th birthday of a Country Music legend, Marty Robbins.  We included several Bluegrass covers of Marty Robbins classics -- some songs he wrote and some he did not.  

We also celebrated several Bluegrass birthdays from early October, including those of Chubby Wise, Terry Baucom, Blake Williams, Ray Deaton, Sammy Shelor, Johnny Williams, and Lynn Morris.  

And we couldn't forget what would have been the 76th birthday of the late Robert Fraker -- a good friend and wonderful musician and songwriter who was one of the founding members of the Bear Bridge Band.  Though he has been gone for 5 years now, Robert's music lives forever.  We included music from Bear Bridge, as well as a couple of recorded versions of Robert Fraker songs.  

We couldn't forget that the IBMA Awards ceremony was held on Thursday, September 28th in Raleigh.  We shared music from a few of the winners, including selections from Molly Tuttle, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Del McCoury, Rick Faris, and Dolly Parton.  

Thanks for listening, and we'll be looking for you this Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM.
