WFDU-FM’s TRADITIONS Playlist for July 4, 2010
Independence Day! As the producer/host of a folk music radio program, I utilized by independence to share music with an audience and chose a number of songs that deal with our great nation – where we have been, where we are and where we are going. The songs shared the thoughts of some of our finest singer-songwriters as well as those from the folk tradition. I also took the opportunity to share the songs that inspired such songs “The Star Spangled Banner” and “This Land Is Your Land.”
New and recommended: Danny Quinn “Tis a Fine Soft Morn”, Suzanne Vega :”Close-up Vol. 1, Love Songs”, Lissa Schneckenburger “Dance”, Andrew & Noah Van Norstrand “All the Good Summers” and Greg Klyma “Pianomandonation”.
(Tune in to TRADITIONS every Sunday from 3 to 6pm Eastern Time
over WFDU-FM 89.1 in the NYC/Northern New Jersey area,
