About John Lupton

John Lupton has co-hosted “Rural Free Delivery” on WVUD-FM at the University of Delaware since 1989, and has been a regular contributor to Sing Out! since 1996. For more than 25 years he has been a board member of the Brandywine Friends of Old Time Music, promoters of the annual Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival, and since 1998 has been on the board of the Green Willow Folk Club, a Delaware venue dedicated to Celtic and British Isles music. John retired in 2014 after more than 35 years in the computer support business, including two decades at the University of Pennsylvania. He believes that facing adversity builds character, and while anyone can be a Yankees fan, it takes true fortitude and guts to be a Phillies fan for 60 years, as he has proudly been. John’s wife is the noted folk music photographer Jayne Toohey.
