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.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/25/2020

During our Bluegrass Cafe on this last Sunday of October, we celebrated several Bluegrass (and Bluegrass-friendly) birthdays.  As Halloween is less than one week away, we also shared a whole bunch of Bluegrass ghost stories.  Boo!

The birthdays celebrated included those of Bluegrassers Eric Gibson, Larry Stephenson, and Bob Amos, and country singer Dwight Yoakam.  In addition, we remembered "everybody's favorite Grandpa," Grandpa Jones (born Lewis Marshall Jones:  October 20, 1913 - February 19, 1998).

Lots of folks always enjoy hearing ghost and spooky stories, especially this time of year.  In the world of Bluegrass, there have been many spooky songs recorded over the years, and for this show, we pulled together nearly a dozen of them.  Hope you weren't too scared to listen.  :)

During these COVID-19 days of home-produced shows, don't forget you can still get in touch with me with requests and such.  All you have to do is send email to bgcafe@gmail.com or check out our Bluegrass Cafe Facebook page:  www.facebook.com/WHUS.BluegrassCafe

Hope you have a wonderful week, and that you'll consider joining me once again next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Have a good week, and stay healthy!

"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 9/14/2008 + Eric Gibson

Hi Folks!

Our sports-shortened show was brightened by the appearance (by telephone) of Eric Gibson of The Gibson Brothers. The Gibsons will be paying us a visit by way of a concert in Canterbury, CT, on 12 October 2008, so it seemed a good time to check in with Eric to talk about their new CD, "Iron and Diamonds," which is commanding much chart attention lately. We had a delightful discussion which you can experience again here.

We also paid tribute to Bill Monroe on the day after the anniversary of his birthday, played a handful of requests (in blue below) , and played some classic cuts during the gospel set.

Be sure to tune in next week when Amy will energize the airwaves with more of the best in bluegrass.
