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",


(Tune in to TRADITIONS every Sunday from 3 to 6pm Eastern Time
over WFDU-FM 89.1 in the NYC/Northern New Jersey area,
