If there’s a theme for this program it’s that the selections are culled almost entirely from recent releases (with only one exception). The music’s varied, but the bluegrass spotlight falls largely on two groups from the region — James Reams & The Barons of Bluegrass from New York City and Marjorie Kelting and Ronnie Feinberg from across the “little pond” on Long Island.
One set carried over a thread from our last program celebrating the July 4th birthday of America. That’s the set that features what I like to term “a sense of place” and, in this particular set, a specific sense of place.
