WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS Playlist for October 25, 2009

My guests today were Arlon Bennett and Alice Leon.  Arlon and Alice are participating in a Nashville-style songwriters-in-the-round session that is being held at the Turning Point in Piermont, NY (Kevin Briody will also participate.)   Arlon and Alice shared their songs live in our studio.

 

We paid tribute to Barry Finn, a New England based folk singer who recently passed away.  Barry had an amazing voice and a love for songs of the sea.  He sang for the love of singing and was one of the few individuals I have met that truly could be called a "folk singer".

 

New and highly recommended music shared today included Anne Hills "Points of View", David Mallett "Alright Now", Caroline Herring "Golden Apples of the Sun", Pete Seeger "Live in '65"(an extended segment was devoted to this recording), and we ended with a preview of the new "re-issue" of the Hudson River Sloop Singers "Broad Old River 2".                    

 

 

(Tune in to TRADITIONS every Sunday from 3 to 6pm Eastern Time

over WFDU-FM 89.1 in the NYC/Northern New Jersey area,

or on the web at www.wfdu.fm where our shows are archived for two weeks.

WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS Playlist for October 11, 2009

I have been delinquent about posting my playlists for the last few shows.  This has been due to a computer crash that began plaguing me this summer.  It is amazing how I was one of the few people that actually enjoyed Microsoft Vista, and suddenly within weeks of Windows 7 release, the drivers on my computer decide they no longer work properly and keep shutting the damn thing down.  I've managed to stump several techs who can only recommend re-installing Vista.   Thank you Bill $(#&$* Gates!!!

Right now I am typing this on my daughter's computer in her bedroom while she is away at college.  Posters of the Goo Goo Dolls and Jason Mraz are staring down at me. I have entered another world and I'm frightened.

While my personal troubles should lead to a unique theme set, they do not.  Instead I had a fun time hosting a show that previews the upcoming Eisteddfod Festival (www.eisteddfod-ny.org), plus sharing some new music.   I did a set of folk music married couples.

New and recommended - Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion - "Folksong" (they put one of Woody's songs to music - I think Woody had the best definition of what constitues a "folksong" - you have to listen to this one!), Loudon Wainwright - "High Wide and Handsome", Zoe Mulford - "Bonfires", James Keelaghan - "House of Cards",
