Subject: Lorcan Otway and Kossoy Sisters on WFDU!
I am very pleased to announce some very special guests will be joing me this Sunday on my WFDU-FM program, Traditions.
Lorcan Otway (InOBU to Mudcatters!)will be joining me during the 3pm hour to share some of his songs. Larry is a brillant songwriter whose songs focus on the human condition. These are not naval gazing songs, but songs that remind us of where we fit in on this planet and the work that needs to be done. I am anxious to talk with him and to present his music live on the radio.
During the 5pm hour I will be featuring an interview that I taped with The Kossoy Sisters. Perhaps you weren't around in 1957 when their first recording with Erik Darling was released. (I was born that year!) You might remember a few years ago when a song from the LP, I'll Fly Away, was featured in the soundtrack of the film "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". Since then, the Irene and Ellen have released a new CD and they are collecting songs for another! I had such a wonderful time chatting with them as they reminisced about the folk revival and brought us up to date on their involvement with music since then. Their voices sound as beautiful as ever!!
WFDU-FM can be heard at 89.1FM in the NYC area. You can also listen online through our website - www.wfdu.fm . TRADITIONS can be heard every Sunday afternoon from 3 to 6pm hosted by myself and my co-host, Bill Hahn!!
I also have a few other surprises in store, I hope you can join us!!
