WFDU-FM’s TRADITIONS Playlist for October 12, 2008
In honor of Columbus Day weekend, I thought it would be appropriate to feature music from and about Native Americans. It was also an opportunity to look back at the music of Peter LaFarge. His song “Alaska” started the show and I found it amazing that some things are still an issue after all these years.
We also took a look at the English folk scene and shared music from the absolutely incredible CD “The Imagined Village”. I would love to see this concept repeated on these shores! Also special notice was given to Rachel Unthank and the Winterset and Kerfuffle – two of my favorite groups to emerge from the U.K. in recent years.
(Tune in to TRADITIONS every Sunday from 3 to 6pm Eastern Time
