Hey, thanks, 12stringgrowler, for the great links to the two BBC programs. I'm a big fan of Lester Simpson's music, both as a soloist and as a member of Coope, Boyes, and Simpson, and thought he would probably do a pretty knowledgeable and interesting show. I was not disappointed when I listened to his show live today! (2:00-4:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern STandard Time). What a wonderful mix of traditional source singers and newer stuff, in a wide variety of styles, British and American. A great model for folk radio programming, I say. One of the hosts (don't remember if it was Lester or Mick) mentioned that whenever possible they always try to pair a field recording of a song as it was sung by a source singer with its newer interpretation. Great goal--listeners actually LEARN something! I'm hooked. Kathy
