I found this promo at http://www.ckutfolk.com:

May 24: The Songs of Bob Dylan.

In 1999, writing in Sing Out! Magazine, I noted that Bob Dylan redefined "how we make, listen to, and think about folk music, popular music and rock 'n' roll, and how those strands collide, intersect and combine with each other." Because this week's edition of Folk Roots/Folk Branches falls on Dylan's 60th birthday, we'll mark the occasion with an entire show devoted to the songs of this most-influential artist.

We'll hear many of Dylan's own recordings as well as versions of his songs performed by generations of other artists. We'll be drawing on recordings dating from as early as 1962 and as recent as 2001.

The show is on CKUT-FM in Montreal and in RealAudio from http://www.ckutfolk.com on Thursday May 24 from 9:00 to noon (EDT).
