Here in Juneau there is a weekly (10:00 PM- 1:00 AM) radio show called 'Mule Train' (complete with Rose Maddox's recording as the theme song) that will celebrate its 20th anniversary next month.

The host, Don Drew, plays almost entirely only country songs and artists circa 1930's-1960. It's a great opportunity to hear singers and songs you haven't heard for years. He himself has thousands of records and CDs and box sets on his living room shelves, so if he doesn't have the song you request this week, he'll bring it next time. We're lucky to have him. Great guy besides.

Art, Alice Gerrard (and Tom and Brad) are going to be the Guest Artists in this spring's Alaska Folk Festival. I'm looking forward to it, to understate just a bit. :)
