"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 11/6/2022

Before the week completely gets away from me, here's a look back at Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe!

We had no particular theme for this show, although we did include a couple of "leftover" ghostly tales from the previous week's mostly-Halloween show.  We also had a little bit of newer music to share from the likes of Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Theo & Brenna, the Lost & Found, Tina Adair, Steven Moore, Nick Chandler & Delivered, and the Gibson Brothers.

In addition, we celebrated the November 6th birthday of the great Junior Sisk, and belatedly celebrated the 85th birthday of Grand Ole Opry legend and Country Music Hall of Famer, Bill Anderson (born November 1, 1937).  Ol' Whisperin' Bill is still a very prolific songwriter, and our tribute to him included several Bluegrass covers of a few of his songs, as well as the man himself singing a classic on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry.

Hope you've had a fine week, so far, and we'll see you on the radio again this coming Sunday, 4-7PM.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/30/2022

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was the last one to air before Halloween, and as you might expect, our playlist was dominated by tunes about ghostly trains, mysterious lights, empty coffins, and, of course, little ghost girls looking for a ride home.  Hope these songs served to create a proper "mood" for our October 30th show.

It's been just over a year since the Bluegrass world lost a true legend:  Roland "Sonny" Osborne (October 29, 1937 - October 24, 2021).  We remembered this Hall of Famer with a few songs from the innovative Osborne Brothers, as well as some songs from the Osborne Brothers' song catalog which have been covered by others.  

And there was a smattering of newer music, too, from the likes of Nick Chandler & Delivered, the Foreign Landers, the Gibson Brothers, Anthony Howell, Sister Sadie, Appalachian Road Show, the Tennessee Bluegrass Band, and the Gospel Plowboys.

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween.  We'll be looking forward to seeing you once more next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

See you then!

"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.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/25/2022

We had a big time celebrating several birthdays during our last Bluegrass Cafe for the month of September.  There were lots of Bluegrass birthdays, and we couldn't let the show pass without remembering the mid-September birthday of true country music legend.  

Among the Bluegrass birthday celebrants in the spotlight were the late Josh Graves, as well as Sierra Hull, Ronnie Reno, Laurie Lewis, and Phil Rosenthal.  We also played several songs in honor of the Bluegrass Hall of Famer, Larry Sparks, who turned 75 years old on the day our show aired (September 25th).  

We also remembered a true country music legend, the Hall of Famer -- and one of everyone's favorite singers -- George Jones.  Many Bluegrass performers have covered the material of George Jones over the years, and we shared quite a number of them on Sunday.

And, of course, there was new music, too, this time from the Larry Stephenson Band, Wildfire, Starlett & Big John, Nick Chandler & Delivered, Big Howdy, Route 3, and Greg Blake.

Hope you enjoyed the show, and please consider joining me once again this coming Sunday from 4-7PM.

See you then!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/18/2022

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was all about celebrating two bona fide Country Music legends, as well as remembering a mandolin master.  We also included a couple of brand-new songs from fiddle players named Jason.  

Our Country Music legends included the King of Country Music, Roy Acuff (September 15, 1903 - November 23, 1992), and, of course, the one and only Hank Williams (September 17, 1923 - January 1, 1953).  Both of these performers have had their material covered by numerous performers in the world of Bluegrass Music, and so, we shared quite a few covers for both Roy and Hank.  We even included a couple of songs written about Hank.  

We couldn't forget to remember the great Herschel Sizemore (August 6, 1935 - September 9, 2022).  This mandolin master performed with many bands over the years, and we shared some of his music made on his own, as well as with the Dixie Gentlemen, a short-lived group called Country Grass, and the Bluegrass Cardinals.  

In addition, there were two brand new songs from two Bluegrass fiddlers named Jason (Jason Barie and Jason Carter).  Other newer music was enjoyed from the likes of Greg Blake & Hometown, East Nash Grass, Blue Highway, Authentic Unlimited, and Peter Rowan.

Hope you're having a fine week.  Enjoy the rest of it, and we'll see you on Sunday!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/11/2022

We're a bit late in getting this playlist posted, but last Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was pretty Monroe-centric, as we celebrated a bit early the 111th birth anniversary of the Father of Bluegrass Music, Bill Monroe.  We remembered Big Mon with songs performed by him, songs written by him and covered by others, and songs written about him (and his mandolin).  Suffice it to say that there would not be a Bluegrass Cafe were in not for the life of William Smith Monroe.

Bill Monroe's was not the only birthday we celebrated on Sunday.  We also shared songs from other mid-September birthday celebrants, including Lou Reid, Michael Cleveland, Bill Harrell, and the gone-too-soon Aaron "Frosty" Foster.  

A bit of newer music was included, too, with selections from Nothin' Fancy, Mason Via, Jr Williams, Anthony Howell, Amanda Cook, Apple & Setser, and Larry Efaw & the Bluegrass Mountaineers.

Hope you enjoyed the show, and please consider joining me once again this coming Sunday, 4-7PM.

See you then!
