Folk Music

Radio: I'm a member of WRPI, where I'm one of several people who take turns hosting the Mostly Folk show. My turn comes on the second Sunday of even-numbered months.

Concerts: I volunteer regularly at Mother's. In the past I have volunteered at The Eighth Step and the Tao of Tao program at WAMC. Now the Tao of Tao program no longer exists and The Eighth Step only has concerts occasionally, but I still try to be there to support the Eighth Step when they do put on a show.

Festivals: I have volunteered at the Clearwater festival twice and hope to continue to do so every year. I also hope to volunteer at the Old Songs Festival in the future.

Favorite musicians (folk): Eric Andersen, Luka Bloom, Broadside Electric, Greg Brown, Eva Cassidy, Leonard Cohen, Lui Collins, the Cottars, Joe Crookston, Donovan, the Duhks, Cliff Eberhardt, Gideon Freudmann, Ronnie Gilbert, the Greencards, Kim and Reggie Harris, Le Vent du Nord, Gordon Lightfoot, the Mammals, the McKrells, Neal and Leandra, Tim O'Brien, Ollabelle, Tom Paxton, Peter, Paul and Mary, the Serendipity Singers, Suroit, Sweet Honey in the Rock, the Weavers, Cheryl Wheeler, Kate Wolf, and Woods Tea Company.

Favorite musicians (nonfolk): While folk is my passion, there are certainly other types of music I enjoy, including music that was popular in the 50's, 60's, and 70's, nueva canción, show tunes, gospel, and new age. Non-folk musicians I've enjoyed include Abba, the Beatles, the Bee Gees, Phil Coulter, Buddy Holly, Elton John, Meat Loaf, Renaissance, Happy Rhodes, Simon and Garfunkel, and George Winston.

Compiling information

I love compiling information about all sorts of things, including about music. Here are some of things I've put together about music:
