Playlist for 5/14: Zach's wedding, Mother's Day, and Everett Lilly

This week's show includes tributes to my son's marriage to the lovely Ariele, tributes to Mother's Day and my mom, and a number of songs in tribute to Everett Lilly, who with his brother B, Tex Logan (fiddle), and Don Stover (banjo) really brought serious bluegrass to New England in the 1950s. (NY Times obituary). Lots of good music, including two new tracks from Amherst, MA's Chris Brashear.
