Hi folks,
First of all, thanks to everyone who answered my recent query about whether
they were having difficulties receiving Worlds of Trad. Also, apologies for not
replying individually, but I was deluged with replies from good folks who took
the trouble to check it out. The vast majority said they’d had no problems
whatsoever. Moreover, Live365 now appear to have fixed the problem. But if
there’s anybody who still can’t hear the station, the easiest solution is
probably to contact the Live365 helpdesk at
http://www.live365.com/help/ticket.live
.
Anyway, the latest edition of Worlds of Trad Internet radio has now been
tried, tested and fired into orbit. You can pick it up by going straight
to the station player at
Alternatively, you can do it by first bringing up the station page. Click
on
http://www.live365.com/stations/oneworldmusic
. Then click the yellow PLAY button. Then, if you 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.
In this month’s show we say a fond farewell to Sandy Paton, Sandy Ives,
Mike Seeger, Jerry Holland and Stanley Robertson, all of whom have sadly joined
the celestial choir over the past month or so. In between we take another sample
from that dazzling collection of Irish music, The Leitrim Equation; Sonny Terry,
Bascom Lunsford and Louis Armstrong keep us updated on the hunt for Lost John;
Sam Larner gives us a crash course on the Napoleonic wars, while Bruce Molsky
beats a hasty retreat; Cecil Pearl, Dolly Curtis, The Balfa Brothers and Ampron
Prunni bring us some English, Cajun and Finnish sounds on the squeezebox; Furry
Lewis shows up with his very own take on the story of Casey Jones; we meet the
youngest Cape Breton band in history; and Snooks Eaglin leads off a whole mess
of street songs from all over. Oh, and there’s the most barnstorming version of
St. Louis Blues I heard in all my life.
All that and much, much more.
Many happy whatnots,
Fred McCormick.
