Subject: RE: BS: Radio for folkies?
Oh, forgot another one of my top favorites, certainly one of the most unusual ~~ ELDORADIO, CESKE BUDEJOVICE, CZECH REPUBLIC. Eldorádio has both 28 and 56 Real Audio streams. Hard to describe what you'll hear there. Like they say, American and Czech country & western music, folk songs, and bluegrass. You might get a Gordon Lightfoot song ~~ done up Czech style, a Johnny Cash classic, who knows what will come next? I would say that their country music leans mostly toward the so called classic variety. Right now they are playing a song which sounds like a cross between bluegrass and a czech folk song, with a bit of comedy thrown in. Oh, here's a priceless one, I've Been Everywhere done up Czech-style!

From their home page in English (though you can choose Czech, if you prefer):
Welcome to Eldoradio Live's home page. You can find information and news here about our live internet broadcasting. Eldoradio broadcasts 24 hours a day for those of you who like American and Czech country & western music, folks songs, and bluegrass. Once you tune in, you'll never want to leave.

Eldoradio started broadcasting in March, 1997, at 88.4 MHz in Southern Bohemia. With the support of the University of Southern Bohemia, we began live internet broadcasting in September, 1997.
