"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 6/1/2008

Hi Folks,

Sorry for being a little late getting this list posted, but it's been busy.

I did a bit of emcee work at the Strawberry Park Bluegrass Festival in Preston, CT, this weekend, so many of the songs I played on Bluegrass Cafe were influenced by the acts that played at the festival.

I had a great time meeting and chatting with many listeners who attended the festival. I appreciate all your kind words about Bluegrass Cafe and the music Amy Orlomoski and I bring you each week.

I hope to meet more of our listeners at future events, and see new friends again. Keep on supporting live bluegrass in the area. It helps!

Jim

Sunday's show featured the second of our seven Guest DJs at BG Cafe -- Clyde Proch. If you've attended a BG festival in New England over the past 15-20 years, it's pretty likely that you've seen Clyde, as he devotes a good many hours promoting and enjoying Bluegrass. He did an excellent job with his Guest DJ stint -- in fact, he did so well that the phones practically never stopped ringing! Clyde's tunes are marked on the list below in blue. Thanks, Clyde, for your pledge to WHUS during Radiothon, and we look forward to hearing the fine work of our remaining 5 Guest DJs this summer....

In addition to Clyde's hour of tunes, we spent a bit of time on Sunday honoring veterans for Memorial Day. We also got to give away a pair of passes to the big Strawberry Park Bluegrass Festival this coming weekend, as well as a couple of BG CDs from Balsam Range and David Johnson. New music was included a bit, as well, as we played one tune each from the new discs by Canada's Spinney Brothers (their self-released Going Home) and the teenage mandolin picker, Sierra Hull (Secrets on Rounder). Be listening for more from these terrific CDs, as well as several others we've been getting at WHUS over the past couple of weeks.

Incidentally, if you're heading to Strawberry Park this weekend, do be on the lookout for our own Jim Beaver as one of your MCs....

Hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend, and be sure to thank a veteran near you....

Hi Folks,

I was in a "classic" mood Sunday and that was reflected in the many classic bluegrass numbers I played on this show. I've got to admit that I had a grand time getting back to the roots, but I played plenty of the newest material as well.

I also had a chance to give away a pair of day passes for the day of choice at the Strawberry Park Bluegrass Festival to be held May 29, 30, 31, and June 1 in Preston, CT. Amy will give away another pair of day passes next Sunday, so be sure to tune in.

Hello there -

Sunday was a super-busy day at UCONN -- Commencement Day for 2,000+ graduates. That means there was a TON of activity on campus, and no parking to be found. Congratulations to all graduates, but especially to one young man who was a listener of BG Cafe -- Colin from Litchfield. It's always nice to know that there are younger folks who are interested in this music.

We also featured the first of our seven Guest DJs, who had each pledged a certain amount of money to have an hour of their own at the BG Cafe. First up was Scott Farrar, and he did a fine job with some excellent tunes. His tunes are marked on the list below in RED. Thanks, Scott! Look (and listen) for more Guest DJs in the future weeks....

And, of course, Sunday was Mother's Day, so we paid tribute with a few songs devoted to mother.

Thanks to everyone who listened, and make sure you join Jim & Marti next week at the BG Cafe.

Hi Folks,

Jim & Marti here filling you in on what we played last Sunday.

Following the lead-off set that paid tribute to horse racing (the Kentucky Derby was the day before), we brought you some lesser-played favorites along with some of the latest music, including the debut of the new CD from The Infamous Stringdusters. While those boys are wandering out towards the edges of bluegrass, there is a track or two on their new self-titled CD that carries the bluegrass banner, and we played one of them. The Dusters will be at Podunk this year, so you can hear them do it live when they come around.

Amy will be with you on Mother's Day, so be sure to tune in.

It had been a while since Marti and I had hosted a non-Radiothon show on WHUS, so it was an interesting day getting back into the groove.

I had one unusual request to fulfill leftover from Radiothon: The person who pledged Bluegrass Cafe over our stretch goal did so on the condition I play my banjo on the air, so I completed that request by adding my own banjo part to "The Fox" by Nickel Creek. I always thought that group needed a banjo, so there it was.

I hope you enjoyed the rest of the show in spite of that request.

Remember, if you are listening over the Web, go back to whus.org and replace the link to the stream. WHUS has changed the link recently, and if you don't replace the old link with the new, you will not be able to listen over the Web.

Also, our permanent phone number during the show has been finalized as 860-486-9487.

Marti and I will be back next week, so we'd be mighty pleased if you tuned in.

Jim

Hello there -

It was a gorgeous day in eastern CT, so not sure how many folks were sitting at home listening to the radio. We played a whole lot of music on Sunday, as we hadn't been able to play too many tunes during the previous two weeks of Radiothon. Thanks again to all of you who pledged to the BG Cafe. In fact, with your pledges, you helped us become the biggest money-raising music program at WHUS!

We squeezed in some new music on Sunday from the Mashville Brigade (a group of Nashville superpickers, including Mountain Heart's Jim Van Cleve, as well as Aaron McDaris of the Grascals, among others), as well as a new duet recording from Jimmy Gaudreau & Moondi Klein, and a new gospel project from Larry Sparks. Hope you enjoyed something you heard somewhere along the way....

Jim & Marti are scheduled to join you for the next couple of weeks. Do tune in!

Amy

Update to earlier post -- BBU's Tyminski show is SOLD OUT!

Folks -

Unless you already have tickets for the Boston Bluegrass Union's show tomorrow night featuring Dan Tyminski, you won't be attending that concert. While this stinks for those who generally buy tickets last-minute at the door for BG events, it's great for the BBU and, of course, Mr. Tyminski. I suspect there will be many attendees at this show who are not "regular" supporters of BG, so how can that be terrible?

Up side here: there are still TWO other terrific BG events for you to pick from on Saturday, April 19th. Do attend at least one, won't you?

And for those who don't have tickets to tomorrow's BBU show, take heart. the Dan Tyminski Band is just one of the fabulous acts performing at the Jenny Brook BG Festival in Weston, VT June 26-29.

Amy

LOTS of great live BG this Saturday, April 19th...

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/13/2008 -- RADIOTHON WEEK #2

Well, folks, we made it. I'm still not entirely sure how it happened, but many, many thanks to all of you who pledged to the BG Cafe over the past two weeks, and helped us to reach our goal. Needless to say, we have the best WHUS listeners, and we couldn't have done it without each and every one of you!

Next week, we'll resume our "normal" programming. Not sure yet who'll be behind the mic -- Jim, Marti, or me -- but you're sure to hear PLENTY of music....

Thanks again!

As always, we thank you for your support, and look forward to hearing from you on Sunday!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/6/2008 -- RADIOTHON WEEK #1

Hey folks -

If you tuned in at all on Sunday, you heard that we've begun our fundraising campaign at WHUS known as Radiothon. We had lots of terrific CDs to offer as premiums to listeners who called to support the show, as well as other goodies like Copper Creek BG calendars, BG Cafe & WHUS t-shirts, a one-day pass for the Jenny Brook BG Festival, and that Tom T. Hall autographed poster. Many of you called to support the show -- THANKS!!! In fact, this year, our station-set goal is 70 pledges during the two weeks of Radiothon. I'm happy to say that we had 36 pledges yesterday, so we're right on track.

Next week, we hope to hear from a few more of you. Won't you please take the time to give us a call on Sunday, 4/13 from 4-7PM?

An updated list of what's still available for premiums will be posted later on this week....

Until then, thanks again for all of your support!!

Some more cool premiums for Radiothon...

We have a couple of last-minute additions for our premium list for Radiothon 2008....

First is a one-day pass to Sunday's events at the Jenny Brook BG Festival in Weston, VT. The date is June 29th. Appearing on the bill that day will be three of New England's finest Bluegrass bands: Acoustic Blue, the Old Time Bluegrass Singers, and White Mountain Bluegrass. Also, you'll see (and hear!) Erin Gibson LaClair and her "band of brothers" (plus Mike Barber). We often get requests at the BG Cafe for the tune from the Gibson Brothers' "Bona Fide" CD that doesn't feature either Leigh or Eric on the lead vocals, but instead, it features their sister, Erin. If you're one of the folks who likes to hear "The Lighthouse," you just may be interested in picking up this pass as your premium. For more info on the terrific lineup at Jenny Brook this year, visit their website: http://www.jennybrookfestival.com/.

And speaking of Acoustic Blue, we have copies of both CDs that are currently available by this fine band from western Massachusetts: "Workin' Man" and "Empty House." We'll add these to our list of wonderful CDs available for a pledge from you....

Thanks to Candi Sawyer and Acoustic Blue for donating these items to WHUS. We hope you'll join us at 4PM on Sunday and help us reach our goal!

Thanks!!

One more special Radiothon premium...

It's not everyday that you get a chance to have an autographed poster of a Country Music Hall of Famer, is it? The nice folks at Blue Circle Records have donated this 16" x 22" signed and dated poster by Tom T. Hall that would look very nice framed and hanging on your wall, wouldn't it? We're thinking a pledge of $50 for this collector's item might be a nice way to go....

Lots Of Great Radiothon Premiums For You....

Hey Folks -

As promised, here's a list of CDs that we'll have to offer you as "thank you" gifts for your pledge to WHUS and Bluegrass Cafe beginning this Sunday, April 6th. Starting at 4PM, you'll have 3 hours to call us toll-free at 1-888-484-9948 and stake your claim to one of these discs, or other great things we'll have to offer you.

We know that times are tough, but we hope you'll consider giving us whatever you can...thanks!

And, thanks, too, to the great record labels who've contributed to our fundraising efforts: Mountain Home/Horizon, Rounder, Rebel, Sugar Hill, Blue Circle, Shell Point, Rural Rhythm, Mountain Redbird, and Copper Creek.

In addition to CDs, we have a few copies of the 2008 Copper Creek calendar. You may wonder why you'd need a 2008 calendar in April, but the information and photographs alone provided in these calendars can't be beat. The feature for the year is "The Women of Bluegrass."
