Hi folks. Just to let everyone know that the April 2009 edition of Worlds
of Trad Internet Radio has been successfully uploaded, late again!!! Oh hell.
Sad to say I’ve been ill. Not exactly a last will and testament job, I’m glad to
say, but the folks didn’t half rally round. Little Brother Montgomery wrote me a
Prescription for the Blues, George Lewis’s Ragtime Jazz Band called up Doctor
Jazz, and Georgia Tom, Big Bill Broonzy and Victoria Spivey wheeled me into the
operating theatre for one of those Terrible Operation Blues.
The complete playlist is below and, barring accidents, eventualities, and
things just plain going wrong, will be on the air until Wednesday May 13th.
And it’s arrived just in time for May Bradley, Marion Williams, The Britannia
Coconut Dancers, the Stoneman Family, Carl Smith & the Carter Sisters, and
Wilma Lee & Stoney Cooper to bring us good news of the festival of Easter.
Also, Brownie McGhee, Bob Roberts, Big Mama Thornton, and one or two more tell
us all about man’s best friend; several generations of the Copper family take to
the stage, as do the wonderful Breton trio, La Soeurs Goadec; there is music
rowdy and refined from the Rebirth Brass Band, The Memphis Jug Band, The
Folkstringers, Joey Curtin, and the Reverend Gary Davies; and there’s the usual
mixture of sounds authentic and exotic from everywhere and all over. Princess
White and the Harlem Blues Band try to find the right keyhole; Sarah Makem sings
of the Sailor Cut Down in His Prime; May Bradley sings of Sweet Swansea; and
Fred Perrier tells us all about the joys of Turmut Hoeing. And if you’re
wondering what Eskimos do to keep warm on those long Arctic nights, you need
wonder no longer.
Last but not least there’s are dedications to folklorist Archie Green,
bluesman John Cephas, and some of the other good people who’ve passed away in
the last month or so.
