As always, I invite Mudcatters to tune into Folk Roots/Folk Branches on CKUT on Thursday morning from 9-11:30 (EDT). In the Montreal area, we're at 90.3 FM. In the rest of the world, we're in RealAudio in real time with the feed available from the Folk Roots/Folk Branches web site.

My guest this week will be Mary McCaslin, a wonderful and very influential singer, songwriter and guitarist. Duringthe conversation with Mary, we'll hear five of her recordings, including a duet with the late Jim Ringer.

Lots of other great music on the show as well including a lot of new releases and reissues that we'll be hearing for the first time. One of those new releases is by a certain Mr. Fielding who is known to frequent this cafe.
