And now, a non-commercial(radio)interuption -

This Sunday, June 20th, my special guest will be Andy Cohen. Andy (www.andycohenmusic.com) is an amazing musician. His knowledge of blues and American music is extraordinary, and I would venture to say that he is the one artist who is the closest to replicating the guitar work of Rev. Gary Davis. He has studied Davis' music (and he knew him, although briefly)and is a walking encyclopedia. In addition, he is one of the only (perhaps the only) dulceola player performing today.

In addition, I will be previewing the Old Songs Festival. Hopefully, we will be chatting with Andy Spence as well.

WFDU-FM can be heard at 89.1FM in tne NYC metro area, or you can listen in via the internet through our website at www.wfdu.fm.

Thanks!

I remember decades back when Andy was known as "the yodeling Jew."

Since Andy lives in Memphis and is only a few hours away from this little corner of the Ozarks we get to see and hear him from time to time, but not often enough. Your audience is in for a treat.

I wish I knew about his nicknames before I interviewed him! It could have led to some great questions!!!

The interview will air at 5pm Eastern time.
