Subject: RE: FOLK MUSIC ON THE RADIO
I'm glad that Guest, Chip 2447 who named our program, and Jim Dixon, who listed our station have both found and posted information on "Your Folk Connection." We produce an hour-long show that is carried on our home station, KRCU as well as KBIA,KKTR,WEIU, and K210AU. We are very loose in our definition of folk, but I think you will hear stuff that no one else plays. Some are current release; some are very old material. You are as apt to hear Vernon Dalhart, Uncle Dave Macon, The Blue Sky Boys, and Jimmy Driftwood as Bill Staines, Pete Seeger, Iris Dement, and Nickle Creek. We can be listened to on the web at either www.KBSI.org or www.KRCU.org. Both stations broadcast us at 7:00PM CST on Saturday evenings. We play Barton and Para, The Grace Family, lots of Folk-Legacy stuff, Judy Domeny, and some Art Thieme on too rare occasions. You may hear English pub songs, Donegan, The Wurzels, The Copper family, The Yetties, Gary and Vera Aspey, and plenty of Australian music as well. Listen to us a couple of times and get a feel for what we do.
