Earl Scruggs Tribute; John McCutcheon. 4/9/12 & 4/12/12

This week's show has two focal points.

First, thanks to Bruce Stockwell of Hot Mustard, Frank Shaw of ShoreGrass, and Scott Anderson of the Scott & Amanda Anderson Band for their help with our tribute to Earl Scruggs. I thought it made a lot more sense to have banjo players talk about Earl than for me to pontificate. You'll enjoy their comments throughout the show. I've listed them in the playlist below.

Second, John McCutcheon spent a lot of time visiting with us. He'll be appearing at Fire in the Kitchen in Madison, CT on Saturday the 14th.

I was concerned that having these two points of focus might make for a disjointed show. But one previewer commented that Earl's willingness to innovate and try different things fits right in with the points John makes about all this music being one big "stew," mixing together lots of different influences and styles. I hope you enjoy the show: M 4/9 at noon on WNHU 88.7 FM or on the WNHU stream at www.wnhu.net; repeated Th at 6pm on the WNHU2 stream at www.wnhu.net.

Thanks for your support of WNHU and of bluegrass & traditional country music.

Playlist & Notes for 4/2; Earl Scruggs

Here's the playlist for this week's Black Diamond Show on WNHU. It's a good show with great tunes from the new Steep Canyon Rangers CD, Mariel Vandersteel's Hickory, old-time tunes from the likes of the Orpheus Supertones and the Run of the Mill String Band and the Hoover Uprights, great music from Pharis & Jason Romero, a gospel number from Dailey and Vincent, and more great stuff.

You can also make a request for next week's show--we'll spend a fair bit of the show paying tribute to Earl Scruggs, who passed away on March 28. Would love to hear what Earl Scruggs music you'd like me to play. In the meantime, check out Steve Martin's tribute to Earl "The Master From Flint Hill." (Photo of Earl accompanies Martin's tribute in the New Yorker.)
