Yeah -- KUT here in Austin is cutting its only "folk" music program in half -- going from 6 hrs. (Sat. 10am to 4pm) to 3 hrs. (Sat. 10am to 1pm). Haven't found out whose brilliant idea that was, yet. But I've been listening since 1970. There was no full-fledged "folk program" then. Ed Miller(scottish singer and history ph.d.) was a part-time announcer for KUT then. Sometimes he just said the name of the program starting, or did station breaks. Sometimes he actually had 15 or 30 minutes to fill and was allowed to play what he chose. That was it. Eventually someone had the bright idea to actually have a whole hour (or more?) of a folk show. Several specialty music shows happened -- jazz, rock'n'roll -- we even got Saturday afternoon at the Met, now deceased. I hate the tendency to homogenize. It may stop disease in milk, but living ideas and music don't pose the same problems. How do we fix this??? (Not a despairing shrug, but a serious question.) What can this bear of little brain (and no money) do? Write irate letters, call general managers -- what else?????                Tw
