Subject: Norma Waterson on WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS
I am very honored to announce that my special guest this coming Sunday (May 23, 2003) will be Norma Waterson. Norma will chat about the history of the Watersons and we will play a number of selections from the new box set "Mighty River of Song", Topic Records recent release that chronicles the history of the Watersons and the numerous groups that continue the legacy. During our conversation, Norma will reminisce about the early days on the scene of the folk revival and give us some insight into the songs they sang. She will share her memories of her sister Lal, her brother Mike and her husband Martin Carthy.
I hope that many of you can join us online for this broadcast. My program, TRADITIONS airs from 3 to 6pm Eastern Time. The interview with Norma will begin at 4pm and will run for approximately 90 minutes. You can listen in via our website at www.wfdu.fm . If you are in the NYC metro area you can find WFDU at 89.1 on your FM dial.
