The Dreaded Folk Calendar over selections from Liz Carroll & John Doyle's "Double Play," Compass 4502

A producer of one of WHUS's public affairs programs called in with the news that a women's delegation had been allowed in to Gaza -- she forwarded a report and I read it in honor of International Women's Day.

Thanks for another great show. I enjoyed the interview with Carrie Newcomer and found some good info including book recommendations on her website.

I just listened to a good interview with Keith Reid on the "Good Music" show on WFDU.org. I liked the song "Potter's Field" from the Keith Reid Project's disc "A Common Thread." Not sure if you're already aware of that radio show and the Keith Reid Project, but thought I'd pass it along.

John, sorry not to notice your comment earlier.

Glad you liked the chat with Carrie -- she was wonderfully easy to work with, and does lovely work.

I'm not already aware of either the radio show (I'm always listening to CDs for potential airplay!) or the disc, so thanks very much for the information.

Sorry Susan--I have the wrong URL for WFDU, from Fairleigh Dickinson University. It is:

http://alpha.fdu.edu/wfdu/wfdufm/home.html

There's also a show called "Traditions" under "Specialty Programs" that I want to check out. It's all folk, whereas "Good Music" covers more than folk.

Hope you find something interesting...

P.S. The "dreaded" folk calendar is not so dreaded after all...it clued me into a venue a few miles from me in Northern NJ, which I found in the links on the Folknotes.org site...so thank you!
