Subject: Ron Olesko's 'Traditions' Radio Show
Having just discovered Ron's brilliant progamme this evening, I thought he and 'it' should have their own thread.

Here's where and how to listen, click the link below, then click the 'WFDU Streaming On The Web' link and that takes you to the Warpradio picture, which is the link to the show...

Ron's 'Traditions' Programme

(with thanks to Jeri, for the original link in Bruce's 'Matters of the Heart' thread)

Today, Ron played, amongst others, some beautiful tracks from the new CDs of Joan Baez - 'Day After Tomorrow'...and Bruce Murdoch - 'Matters of the Heart'

And of course, there's a link between these two artists, with Joan's sister, Mimi, being married to Richard Farina, who (with a very young Bruce) was on the Singer Songwriter Project, along with David Cohen (now David Blue) and Patrick Sky.

Great to hear their new CDs being aired on Ron's show.

Joan Baez

Bruce Murdoch

You can listen 'live' to Ron's show every Sunday, from 3-5pm (New Jersey time) and you'll hear a rich variety of brilliant music! I'm listening to it right now, as I write this. I'm hooked! :0)

And as Ron and Bruce, are both Mudcatters, well, it shows yet again, that this board is something a bit 'special'.

Oh, and to bring a smile, Ron has just finished playing a great track, The Mermaid Song by Great Big Sea, which you can listen to here:

The Mermaid, on Youtube
