Bluegrass Review #1210 program for March 3-9, 2012
From Philip Nusbaum | Part of the The Bluegrass Review series | 59:00
Today’s show opens with a little “goodbye, so long farewell.” But then the Gem of Bluegrass switches to a consideration of Twin fiddling. Following the “Gem,” we play some great, recent twin fiddling pieces. Later, we talk to Special Consensus banjoist Greg Cahill about his composing.
Each week, the show presents current and historical bluegrass music, as well as interviews, produced segments and commentary. The result is in-depth and entertaining bluegrass programming that presents two or three thematic bursts within each show, and appeals to a wide audience of music lovers. The Bluegrass Review is available free of charge to stations that run it in a consistent timeslot.
The Bluegrass Review reports to NPR Digital Services.

Noble Sissle is one of American music's unsung heros of early popular music. Following his successful duo with Blake, he began nurturing the careers of many talented musiicians and singers including Lena Horn and Sidney Bechet, but his real success is in his songwriting. Many of his songs are still performed today.
