WFDU-FM’s TRADITIONS Playlist for May 10, 2009

Sing Out! Posted on by

My guest today was John Sprung, a local singer-songwriter who has been performing and writing music for over 40 years. In addition to performing live in the studio, he shared some early demo recordings that he made with a folk trio in 1966 which led to a discussion of the era. John is a lawyer by day and a marvelous songwriter in the tradition of Tom Lehrer. Check him out at www.folklawproductions.com

New & highly recommended music this week – Willie Kelly & Mike Rafferty – “The New Broom”. Two Irish music legends in our area and they have produced a superb new CD along with Mike’s son-in-law Donal Clancy. Some great tunes and virtuoso performances!
As required by folk music radio law, we shared a couple of tunes for Mothers Day.
(Tune in to TRADITIONS every Sunday from 3 to 6pm Eastern Time
over WFDU-FM 89.1 in the NYC/Northern New Jersey area
or on the web at www.wfdu.fm.
