Black Diamond Show Playlist 3/12 & 3/15 on WNHU

This week's show turned into a wild one. The show kicks off with Mark Piro and three of his sons, Yuri, Ian, and Evan, playing "Cotton-Eyed Joe." Let me put it this way: if they invite you to a music party at their house in Downingtown, PA, accept. Even if you live in New Haven! Right Christina? :-)

I told Randy Burns I planned to play his version of Goebel Reeve's "Hobo's Lullaby," and he emailed me a story about it, which I had to have him tell me for the show, particularly since he's appearing in New Haven at Never Ending Books on March 17.

Meanwhile, to help promote Darrell Scott's appearance in Easton, two wild, self-professed Yankee hillbillies, Dan Carlucci & Dan Tressler, from String Fingers, checked in with us. They're opening Darrell Scott's show on March 18 at the Jesse Lee Church.

Details on both shows in our file of concert listings.

We also include songs to thank those who contributed to WNHU during the Black Diamond Show portion of the phone-a-thon--I've noted our thanks below for those donors who claimed a premium from us! I'd like to thank Pat Kennedy from WNHU's Echoes of Erin show for helping out with the phones during the March 5 show: Thanks, Pat!

On to the playlist. Thanks for your support of WNHU and bluegrass and traditional country music.
