Forgot to mention that WFDU is in Teaneck NJ and reaches the tri state (NY NJ CT) area. I tend to forget that this forum is world wide.

But, we are on the web. Address above.

And while we are at it... let me plug our show for this week!

I will be concluding the interview with Erik Darling. He speaks about the Weavers, Pete Seeger, the Rooftop Singers, and what he has been up to since his "sabatical" from folk music in the 1960's. Check out his wonderful new CD - "Child, Child". Erik's website is www.erikdarling.com.

By the way, our website will probably be down for a few days for some upgrades on the server. We should be back in time for Bill's interview with David Margolick on the 25th.

Just an update to say that besides a very interesting talk with Pulitzer Prize Nominee David Margolick about his book Strange Fruit, music from Billie Holliday, and Josh White, we will also be joined for a few momemts by Josh White (Jr).

On another matter, having to do with the Clearwater Revival held last weekend in Croton NY, Holly Near will be briefly joing us.
