I didn't want to start a debate about what or what isn't 'Celtic'. I'm afraid it's true that here in the US there is a tendency to label things and radio stations tend to want program(me) titles to give people an instant clue. Actually, certainly to begin with, the show will feature simply what I have in my own record collection. That's why I'm interpreting Celtic widely! I have more vinyl than CDs and quite a lot of cassettes even - so I'm doing a lot of downloading to the computer and copying to CDR in order to be able to play stuff on the radio. Oh how things have changed since I first hosted a radio show in Scotland 15 years ago - it was live then and we used turntables! The first show is very personal and pays tribute to previous trad music shows on this station as well as the show I used to present in Scotland and musicians I've been associated with. Keep the comments coming. Jack
