Hi
Anyone keeping tabs on Worlds of Trad uploads will notice that I’m about a week and a half late this time. For which many apologies. However, this month’s programme is a Peace Songs Special, and it took rather longer to assemble than usual.
I’ve posted the full story at www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=115422&messages=1 and blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog&pop=1&ping=1 . You can also see the current playlist on either page. I just want to say here that Live365, who host Worlds of Trad, have been running a recruitment advertisement for the Central Intelligence Agency on my programme. I have no control over advertising content, and I have a deep loathing of organisations like the CIA, and the power blocs which they represent. Therefore, I took the only road which seems to be open to me, and I have turned the whole of this month’s Worlds of Trad into an advertisement for world peace.
Helping me to spread the message is a whole host of good folks including John McCutcheon, Woody Guthrie, Martin Carthy, Sean ac Donncha, Brownie McGhee, Leadbelly, Roy Harris, Ewan MacColl, Batrou Sekou Kouyate and Sidiki Diabate, Kieron Mearns, Sarah Grey, John Doherty, The Golden Gate Quartet, The Eureka Brass Band, Kevin Littlewood, Pete Seeger, O J Abbott, Kevin Mitchell, Walter Pardon, Seamus Ennis, The Cantwell Family, Mark Pashku, Joe Heaney, Jack Elliott, Bob Davenport, Frank Proffitt, Washington Philips, Skylark, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Valya Balanska, Mary Ann Carolan, Jeannie Robertson, Puli Toro, Adrian Mitchell, Victor Jara, The Keane Sisters, Lizzie Higgins, Bob Dylan and Dan Dowd.
As always, to hear the programme, visit www.live365.com/stations/oneworldmusic , and click on the yellow speaker button. If you haven't logged on you'll need to follow the onscreen instructions to download the station player. Then wait a moment until the ads clear, press the yellow PLAY button and the station will be on the air. If you also press the green button to the right, you can set Worlds of Trad as a preset. That will save you having to search the next time you listen in.
The programme will be on-line until Wednesday November 19th. Aptly, that will carry us over Remembrance Sunday, when we commemorate the wasted lives of two world wars.
As always, enjoy. Síocháin, Shalom, Peace or however you want to say it,
Fred McCormick.
