Happy New Year Folks,
Apologies for the even longer delay in uploading the programme than usual, but I encountered a terrible bout of the lurgy before Christmas. No, ‘twasn’t the ‘flu, it was a bad case of water on the lungs, and brother did it take some shifting.
Anyway, what should have been the usual Worlds of Trad Christmas Special has had to be revamped, rejigged and denuded of all allusions to Christmas. The good news is that the resultant whopping great beast is a whole 43 minutes longer than usual, and that’s without any stuffing or even a single turkey.
To accompany the feast, I’ve laid on a whole host of musical superstars. Among them are Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Doc Watson, Vera Hall Ward, George Melly, Guitar Slim and Jellybelly, who remind us of what a fine genre is the indigenous American ballad; we say a sad farewell to jazz clarinettist Monty Sunshine, and to Sligo’s Peter Horan, and especially to the wonderful Sarah Keane of the legendary Keane Sisters.
We also mourn the passing of a superb English New Orleans style jazzband; we play a few tunes in honour of Taffy, my new greyhound dog; Bert Lloyd warns us about Wallaby Stew; I review Here I am Amongst Ye, Len Graham’s new book about his old singing partner Joe Holmes; and we discover a delightful West Indian version of the Butchers Boy.
All this and much, much more. The full playlist can be seen at mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=134802&messages=1 and it can be heard by going straight to the station player at
www.live365.com/cgi-bin/mini.cgi?station_name=oneworldmusic&tm .
On the other hand, or if that doesn’t work, you can bring up the station page first. Click on www.live365.com/stations/oneworldmusic . Then roll the mouse over the face near the top of the screen and click the grey PLAY button when it appears. Then, if you press the little PLUS sign to the right of where it says Worlds Of Trad, you can save Worlds of Trad as a preset. That will save you having to search the next time you listen in.
Happy Listenings,
Fred McCormick.
