Airing live on WFDU on Sunday March 18, 2018 from 3-6pm ET
and rebroadcast at www.bluesandrootsradio.com on Saturday March 24 at 6:30pm ET and Tuesday March 27 at 10pm ET

Happy Traum joined me via telephone to talk about his upcoming performance at the Borderline Folk Music Club in Nanuet, NY. Happy will present his multi-media show “Coming of Age in the Folk Revival” where he shares stories and music of the people and places from his illustrious career.

Also, we paid tribute to singer-songwriter Robby Bobby (Joe Milsom), a Pennsylvania based singer-songwriter who passed away on March 11. One of the friendliest people in our folk community, Bobby’s wit was evident in his clever songs and performances. He will be sorely missed by the folk community.
