"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/29/2017

Happy almost-Halloween!  Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe featured 60+ minutes' worth of Halloween-worthy songs including tales of witches, murders, ghosts, and mysterious lights.  Of course, if we were only allowed to play one Bluegrass Halloween song, it's likely that song would have to be a true classic from the Country Gentlemen:  "Bringing Mary Home."  When I was a kid, just looking at the album cover for that LP used to scare me quite a bit, but the song will live on forever...as it should.  Included with our spooky tunes was a new entry for 2017 -- "Sam Jocelyn's Ghost" from the ETSU Bluegrass Pride Band.  Creepy!

We remembered two fine Bluegrass birthdays, too.  Martha Hearon Adcock celebrates her birthday on October 29th, as does a bona fide Bluegrass legend:  Sonny Osborne.  In fact, Sonny turns 80 years old today, so happiest birthday wishes to both Martha and Sonny!

Hope you heard something you enjoyed during this week's Bluegrass Cafe -- and that you will consider joining us once again next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Have a spooktacular week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/22/2017

Somehow or other, we have now reached Wednesday, and I am finally getting around to posting Sunday's playlist for our Bluegrass Cafe.  Better late than never seems to apply here, I hope...

Louis Marshall Jones
(October 20, 1913 - February 19, 1998)

During the broadcast on Sunday, we celebrated some October birthdays, including those of Bob Amos, Eric Gibson, Joe Mullins, Fred Pike, and Larry Stephenson.  Most notably, we shared several songs written and/or performed by a true character (and Country Music Hall of Famer), Grandpa Jones.  We also heard a couple of selections from a fine gospel group of which Grandpa was a charter member:  the Brown's Ferry Four.

The rest of the show was sort of a mix of music -- some classic Bluegrass, some newer.  Among the newer were tunes from the Kevin Prater Band, Eddie Adcock, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Feller & Hill, and Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice.  

Big thanks once again to Cathy and Keegan Day for sitting in on the Bluegrass Cafe which aired on October 15th.  Hope you'll be hearing them again on the air some time in the not-too-distant future.

And we will look for you again this coming Sunday -- October 29th -- for another Bluegrass Cafe!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/8/2017

The main feature on Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was the sharing of a dozen tunes written by a wonderful Bluegrass musician from the midwest who died this past week:  Aubrey Holt (August 15, 1938-October 5, 2017).  Holt, along with his brothers and uncle, were some of the founding members of the Boys From Indiana -- a very popular Bluegrass band beginning in the 1970s.  In addition to being a fine musician, Aubrey Holt was a fantastic songwriter whose songs have been covered in the Bluegrass world many times, including songs by bands which include relatives of Aubrey Holt: his son, Tony Holt & the Wildwood Valley Boys and his nephew, (Tom) Feller & Hill.

We also pulled out our Feature Letter of the Week once again, this time choosing performers with a band or personal name that begins with "H."  Among them:  selections from Hot Rize, Bobby Hicks, Clay Hess, Hammertowne, Rick Hayes, the Hagar's Mountain Boys, Bill Harrell, Randall Hylton, Billy Hurt, the Hillmen, and a few more H's thrown in for good measure.

Hope you enjoyed the show, and especially hope you'll be sure to join Cathy Day on the program next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.  

See you in a couple of weeks!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/1/2017

The last week of September found a whole lot of Bluegrass types down in Raleigh, North Carolina enjoying the World of Bluegrass events.  One of the highlights of the week is the annual International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Awards -- sort of the Bluegrass version of the Grammy Awards.  During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we shared music from several award-winners for 2017.  We also spent the first 30 minutes of the show recognizing the four newest inductees into the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame:  Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard, Bobby Hicks, and Roland White.  

Marty Robbins
(September 26, 1925 - December 8, 1982)

We remembered Martin David Robinson -- forever known to the music world as Marty Robbins -- by sharing several Bluegrass versions of songs from the Marty Robbins Songbook, as well as the extended-length version of Marty singing his own 1959 classic, "El Paso."

In addition, there was some music from 2017 recordings, including the Still Pickin' Trio, a track by Shawn Camp from the Mac Wiseman "I Sang The Song" collection, Feller & Hill, Eddie Adcock, Mark Kuykendall, Bobby Hicks & Asheville Bluegrass, the Grascals, the Molly Rose Band, the Gibson Brothers, and Flashback.

Be sure to join us for our next Bluegrass Cafe on Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/24/2017

The Birthday Boy in 2015 as he played a few tunes
during his Bluegrass Hall of Fame induction.

During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we heard several selections from a Bluegrass Hall of Famer who celebrates his 70th birthday on September 25th:  Larry Sparks.  

Just a little bit of new music to share on Sunday's show

We also shared a whole bunch of fine Bluegrass from 2017 recordings, several of which that were recently added to our WHUS Bluegrass library.  Among these songs were tunes from Bobby Osborne, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Mike Barnett, the Grascals, Steve Gulley & New Pinnacle, Becky Buller, Gina Clowes, Feller & Hill, Flatt Lonesome, Big Country Bluegrass, Eddie Adcock, Nothin' Fancy, Tom Ewing, Mark Kuykendall, Bobby Hicks & Asheville Bluegrass, and the Gibson Brothers.

Hope you enjoyed the show, and that you'll consider joining us once more next Sunday afternoon at 4PM for another visit to our Bluegrass Cafe!

It just so happened that Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe fell on the birth anniversary of one Hiram King Williams -- forever known to the music world as Hank Williams.  With that in mind, it seemed quite appropriate to share lots of music from the vast Hank Williams Songbook, and so, we did.  In addition to numerous Bluegrass covers of Hank tunes, we even included a couple of signature songs from ol' Hank, himself.

We also played a song called "Angels From Appalachia," written by songwriter Kevin T. Hale.  This song was the First Prize Winner of the 2017 Podunk Bluegrass Festival Songwriter Contest, and is a fine number.  Hope you enjoyed it!  

And, of course, we included a few songs from recordings received by WHUS in 2017, which included music from Mile Twelve, the Sommers Rosenthal Family Band, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Nothin' Fancy, the Lonesome River Band, Shawn Camp performing on the Mac Wiseman autobiography-in-song recording, Mark Kuykendall, Bobby Hicks & Asheville Bluegrass, the Molly Rose Band, and Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers.

Hope you were able to tune in on Sunday, but if not, you'll get another chance to listen to the show next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.  

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/10/2017

William Smith Monroe (9/13/1911-9/9/1996)

In short, Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe featured numerous birthday remembrances and tributes, including Bluegrass versions of songs by a couple of Country Music Hall of Famers with September birthdays (Jimmie Rodgers, Roy Acuff), as well as one song each from four well-known Bluegrass performers who celebrate birthdays this week (Paul Adkins, Bill Harrell, James King, Lou Reid).  Country Music Hall of Famer Don Williams -- the "Gentle Giant" -- died on September 8th, and we remembered him with four Bluegrass covers of his songs.  The rest of our playlist was pretty Monroe-centric, as we featured several gospel and non-gospel songs from the great Bill Monroe Song Catalog (born September 13, 1911).  

And if all of that wasn't enough, we also

The first Mile Twelve CD will be
officially released in October 2017.  

included a tune from the soon-to-be-officially-released recording by New England favorites, Mile Twelve.  Phew!

Hope you have a fine week!  We'll be looking for you again next Sunday afternoon in our Bluegrass Cafe!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/3/2017

If you were listening to our Bluegrass Cafe on Sunday afternoon, you likely heard nearly 30 minutes' worth of songs in honor of Labor Day (although the topic was sometimes about NOT working too hard).  Hope you are able to enjoy your Labor Day holiday...whether you are working, or not!

We remembered the very first multi-day Bluegrass festival which began on September 3, 1965 in Fincastle, Virginia, by playing music from some of the performers featured at that event including the Father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys.

The rest of the playlist consisted of music randomly pulled from the library with a few 2017 selections thrown in for good measure.  In that latter category, we heard newer music from Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Big Country Bluegrass, Ralph Stanley II & the Clinch Mountain Boys, Eddie Adcock, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, Hammertowne, the Kevin Prater Band, the Gibson Brothers, and the Molly Rose Band.

Hope you enjoy your week!  We'll be looking for you next Sunday afternoon for another visit to our Bluegrass Cafe!
