Hi Folks,

The April 2008 edition of Worlds of Trad Internet radio is now uploaded, will be on-line until Wednesday May 14th, and features three hours of the very best in traditional folk, ethnic, world, roots, blues, old time country and early jazz; in fact traditional music from absolutely everywhere.
In this month's bargain basement bonanza there's a whole loada jelly rollin' and a whole loada holy rollin'. In the jelly rollers corner we've got Cotton Thompson, who ain't giving nobody none of his, Lil Johnson, who sure misses hers, Al Dexter, who's renewed his, and Lu Watters Yerba Buena Band, and there's no way that I'm going to tell you what they've done with theirs.
For the holy rollers we've got the Blind Boys of Alabama, backed by the Preservation Hall Jazzband, The Clouds Of Heaven Trombone Shout Band, Doc Watson, and that wonderful old veteran of the Memphis blues scene, Furry Lewis. If you can't save your jelly roll, these guys will make sure you save your soul.
In between, we've got some first class old time string band music, courtesy of the Downtrodden String Band, Clyde Davenport and Dwight Diller. There's a bunch of US presidential election songs; there's a cluster of songs about young girls married to old men; there's a few Scots fiddle tunes; Kevin Mitchell and Sarah Grey give us a song apiece; there's a hoolie of hootin' and hollerin' from Switzerland, Sweden and North Carolina; some ethnic sounds from the Big Apple; some more ethnic sounds from Africa; and Washboard Sam and the Dixie Reelers are here to tell you, those sleeping tablets just do not work.

And there's a small tribute to one of the truly great leaders of the twentieth century, Dr. Martin King, who was brutally assassinated just over forty years ago.

To listen to the programme, go to http://www.live365.com/stations/oneworldmusic , and click on the yellow speaker button If you haven't listened before you'll need to follow the onscreen instructions to download the station player Then wait a moment for the ads to clear, press the green PLAY button and the station will be on the air.

The programme is 3 hours long and it's on a 24/7 continuous loop, so you can pick it up at any time and hear the whole show right through. What's more, the music is great, listening is free and I'm always glad to receive requests.

Happy listening, and all that stuff,

Fred McCormick
