WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS
Playlist for December 6, 2009
HOST: Ron Olesko
www.ronolesko.blogspot.com

The show started with what is quickly becoming my favorite song of the
season(and maybe the entire year!) - Antje Duvekot's "Thank's For the
Roses(Merry Christmas", part of the new Winterblom project. Winterbloom:
Traditions Rearranged is the enw 8-song EP from the collective team fo Antje
Duvekot, Anne Heaton, Meg Hutchinson and Natalia Zukerman. Each of these
extraordinary singer-songwriters brings something to the table - using their
different backgrounds and musical styles, they have created a unique
seasonal offering that is going to replace Bing Crosby in my house! Check
it out - www.winterbloom.com .

My special guest today was Christine DeLeon, a talented singer-songwriter
from right here in New Jersey. She was a winner of the 2008 New Jersey Folk
Festival Songwriting Competition and she released her first CD - "January
Hiding". She has a stunning voice (she is also a cantor at local church)
and her songs are full of charm and insight. Just last week she became
engaged when her financee, Mike Del Vecchio, popped the question while he
was emceeing an open mike at the Minstrel in Morristown. A really happy
story from the heart of our folk community!

I also took the opportunity to salute two CD's that were nominated for
Grammy Awards this week. While there are a number of great recordings
represented at this year's Grammys, I was particulary happy to see two of my
favorites get the nod - Loudon Wainwright III's "High Wide and Handsome: The
Charlie Poole Project", and "A Tribute to Utah Phillips: Singing Through the
Hard Times".

The Utah Phillips collection is particulary noteworthy on several levels -
it is great that Utah's name is now being recognized by a larger audience,
and this album started out a real grass-roots effort. When Utah became
critically ill early in 2007, Dan Schatz, a wonderful folksinger and
songwriter from the DC area, began talking with Utah's close friend Kendall
Morse and his wife Jacqui. They decided to record a CD of Utah's songs to
help raise money for Utah's medical bills. Word spread, and the circle of
friends widened and they were soon artists like Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton,
Jean Ritchie, Emmy Lou Harris, Mary Black, and others joined in to help out.
Ani DiFranco got behind the project and released it on her Righteous Babe
record label. While Utah did not live long enough to see the CD's release,
you can bet he is smiling down at this turn of events!

Also on today's show, I paid tribute to Liam Clancy, who passed away last
week. He was a true giant, not only in Irish music, but also in our folk
community. Liam and his brothers, along with Tommy Makem, got everyone
singing and were a vital part of the folk revival. It is some comfort to
know that his son Donal along with other members of the extended Clancy and
Makem families are carrying the tradition along.

It is an example that all of us who host folk radio shows takes to heart.
Thank you Liam for all that you gave us!

WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS Playlist for October 25, 2009

2009-11-01T17:04:00.000-05:00

My guests today were Arlon Bennett and Alice Leon. Arlon and Alice are participating in a Nashville-style songwriters-in-the-round session that is being held at the Turning Point in Piermont, NY (Kevin Briody will also participate.) Arlon and Alice shared their songs live in our studio.

We paid tribute to Barry Finn, a New England based folk singer who recently passed away. Barry had an amazing voice and a love for songs of the sea. He sang for the love of singing and was one of the few individuals I have met that truly could be called a "folk singer".

New and highly recommended music shared today included Anne Hills "Points of View", David Mallett "Alright Now", Caroline Herring "Golden Apples of the Sun", Pete Seeger "Live in '65"(an extended segment was devoted to this recording), and we ended with a preview of the new "re-issue" of the Hudson River Sloop Singers "Broad Old River 2".

WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS Playlist for October 11, 2009

2009-10-15T23:41:00.001-04:00

I have been delinquent about posting my playlists for the last few shows. This has been due to a computer crash that began plaguing me this summer. It is amazing how I was one of the few people that actually enjoyed Microsoft Vista, and suddenly within weeks of Windows 7 release, the drivers on my computer decide they no longer work properly and keep shutting the damn thing down. I've managed to stump several techs who can only recommend re-installing Vista. Thank you Bill $(#&$* Gates!!!

Right now I am typing this on my daughter's computer in her bedroom while she is away at college. Posters of the Goo Goo Dolls and Jason Mraz are staring down at me. I have entered another world and I'm frightened.

While my personal troubles should lead to a unique theme set, they do not. Instead I had a fun time hosting a show that previews the upcoming Eisteddfod Festival (www.eisteddfod-ny.org), plus sharing some new music. I did a set of folk music married couples.

New and recommended - Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion - "Folksong" (they put one of Woody's songs to music - I think Woody had the best definition of what constitues a "folksong" - you have to listen to this one!), Loudon Wainwright - "High Wide and Handsome", Zoe Mulford - "Bonfires", James Keelaghan - "House of Cards",

WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS playlist for August 2, 2009

2009-08-02T18:01:00.000-04:00

The day was brightened with a visit from Joe Jencks and Mara Levine. Joe shared his incredible new CD that he is about to release - and I'm betting it will be on many playlists by the time Joe releases it to the Folk DJ list. Mara Levine is a "new" voice that I hope many people will become aware of. She also shares her love for making gorgeous jewelry, hence the title of her new recording "Mara's Gems".

A plethora of exciting new CD's- topped by Jonathan Edwards latest - "Rollin' Along". A real powerful live recording from one of the finest acoustic performers around!

Also new & recommend – Arlo Guthrie “Tales of 69” and Nathan Rogers “Moving Mountains”(a powerful singer-writer and dynamic performer!)

(Tune in to TRADITIONS every Sunday from 3 to 6pm Eastern Time

over WFDU-FM 89.1 in the NYC/Northern New Jersey area

or on the web at www.wfdu.fm.

WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS Playlist for July 5, 2009

2009-07-05T22:18:00.001-04:00

The show was influenced by the fact that it was the day after Independence Day - and if you do the math you will see that the date is July 5th. I could not think of a better time to have a salute to Canadian singer-songwriters!

Okay, there were a number of songs sprinkled throughout the show that recognized the 4th of July, and we had time to sample a number of superb new recordings. Of particular note - Michael Troy "Mill Town Boy", Angela Easterling "Blacktop Road", Johnsmith "Gravity of Grace", Childsplay "Waiting for Dawn" and John Flynn "Departures".

(Tune in to TRADITIONS every Sunday from 3 to 6pm Eastern Time

over WFDU-FM 89.1 in the NYC/Northern New Jersey area

WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS Playlist for June 21, 2009

2009-06-21T20:03:00.000-04:00

The obligatory Father's Day "theme" hour (as mandated by F.C.C. and a subparagraph ruling of the 1954 rule passed by the International Folk Music Council) filled the portion of the show. I "twittered" requests for this and was surprised by a nice response (via Facebook) and some terrific suggestions.

I also gave a nod to the Summer Solstice and as a public service announcement I reminded our listeners here in New Jersey what the sun looks like. (By the way, the ark is nearly finished.)

The second hour was dedicated to a preview of the upcoming Old Songs Festival of Traditional Music and Dance - my favorite festival of the season. Do yourself a favor, if you have not gone to one - check it out! This year is the 29th annual fest and it will feature artists like Christine Lavin, Josh White Jr., Peggy Seeger, Roberts & Barrand, Lou & Peter Berryman and many others. Go to www.oldsongs.org .

New and recommend - Hope Machine "Big Green", Cary Cooper "Dirty Little Secret", Dale Robin "Sweet & Salty"

(Tune in to TRADITIONS every Sunday from 3 to 6pm Eastern Time

I started the show on sort of a gloomy note - powerful songs that recognize the troubles we face as a nation. I had the unfortunate experience of being "downsized" this week from my "day job" so these troubled times really hit home.

I finished the show on an inspirational note - the "Philly Friends" recording in honor of the late Pat Scott. Pat Wictor wrote the song that he performed with Cheryl Prashker, LisaBeth Weber, Maggie Marshall and Jayne Toohey who provided the beautiful photographs and graphic design. One line in the song really hit home - about having an opportunity to do the things we love. With a spirit like that, we will all make it! The song has an important cause - supporting Women in Transition, a Philadelphia women's shelter that does incredible work counciling and empowering women who are endangered by domestic violence and/or substance abuse.

On today's show we also shared some great new recordings from Tom Chapin "Let the Bad Tims Roll", Ronny Cox "Songs...with Repercussions" and Nancy Griffith "The Loving Kind". We also put a radio spotlight on a reissue series from Omni Recording Corporation and their reissues of Malvina Reynolds and Paul Clayton. I also highly recommend the new biography on Paul Clayton, "Paul Clayton the Folk Song Revival", authored by Bob Coltman - a notable folksinger and the composer of the song "Before they Close the Last Minstrel Show".

WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS Playlist for May 10, 2009

2009-05-10T21:08:00.001-04:00

My guest today was John Sprung, a local singer-songwriter who has been performing and writing music for over 40 years. In addition to performing live in the studio, he shared some early demo recordings that he made with a folk trio in 1966 which led to a discussion of the era. John is a lawyer by day and a marvelous songwriter in the tradition of Tom Lehrer. Check him out at www.folklawproductions.com

New & highly recommended music this week - Willie Kelly & Mike Rafferty - "The New Broom". Two Irish music legends in our area and they have produced a superb new CD along with Mike's son-in-law Donal Clancy. Some great tunes and virtuoso performances!

As required by folk music radio law, we shared a couple of tunes for Mothers Day.

(Tune in to TRADITIONS every Sunday from 3 to 6pm Eastern Time

over WFDU-FM 89.1 in the NYC/Northern New Jersey area

WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS Playlist for April 12, 2009

2009-04-12T17:55:00.000-04:00

Today's show featured a segment on Woody Guthrie. We heard Gene Shay with a superb report on the 2008 Woody Fest with performances from Judy Collins, John Gorka, Jimmy LaFave and others. I loved John Gorka's "true story" about hopping freights with Woody!

In addition, I shared a recording of radio play that featured Woody. It was a PSA to warn rural audiences about the dangers of syphillis and the importance of seeking care. Recorded in the late 1940's, the play featured Woody as "Rusty, The Lonesome Traveler" and was produced by Alan Lomax.

New and recommended - Bruce Cockburn - Slice O Life, Rod MacDonald - After the War, Ramblin Jack Elliot - A Stranger Here, and Rachel Hair - The Lucky Smile.

WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS Playlist for March 1, 2009

2009-03-01T18:01:00.000-05:00

Guest: Nathan Rogers, who is making his New Jersey concert debut at the Hurdy Gurdy Folk music club. We share selections from his debut CD, talked about his family history with music, and shared Nathan's thoughts about song. A brilliant performer and equally exciting guest!

Also, I spoke with author Ronald Cohen about his new book "A History of Folk Festivals In the United States". The final hour of the program was a nostalgic look back at folk festivals - which also served as a reminder that spring is almost here and some great festivals are coming!

New and recommended - "A Tribute to Utah Phillips: Singing Through the Hard Times", the Shivers "Across the Blue Ridge", Bret Ratliff "Cold Icy Mountain" and Danny Schmidt "Instead the Forest Rose to Sing".

WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS Playlist for January 18, 2009

2009-01-18T18:01:00.000-05:00

With the Inauguration looming ahead, as well as our national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, todays show featured a number of songs about change, civil rights and helping each other.

My in-studio guests were Chuck E. Costa and Peter Siegel, and I'd like to thank each of them for traveling a good distance to be on the show and share some live music on a snowy day in Teaneck.

New and highly recommend - Aztec Two-Steps "Time It Was" - it is great to finally be able to share their brillant renditions of Simon & Garfunkel classics. I had the honor of having them on my program before their first S&G Songbook show, and it is a treat to hear how the songs have evolved and become part of the Aztec Two-Step songbook!

Also, Tom Rush "What I Know" - finally, a studio album after 35 years!! He is still one of the finest songwriters and performers around! Last but certainly not least - check out Mason Brown's "When Human's Walked the Earth" - a perfect example of how traditional music evolves into contemporary! Mason is an exciting artist!

During the last 15 minutes of the show, I received a call from a "listener" who felt I was playing too many "of those songs" with "foolish ideas" and then started shouting racial slurs before hanging up. It is comforting to know that songs about civil rights can still effect people and this individual's sick attempt to continue with his racist ideas have become the exception rather than the prevailing attitude. Time has changed since those days, and great progress has been made - faster than most of us would have believed even a few years ago - but a phone call like that reminds me that there is still a lot of change needed in this world - and I thank the singer-songwriters who continue to teach and inspire and work for a better nation and world. I was on the air while Pete Seeger, his grandson Tao, and Bruce Springsteen led tens of thousands of people in singing "This Land is Your Land" at the Lincoln memorial during the Obama Inaugural concert. To hear Pete singing the song with all the so-called "radical verses" had me in tears when I watched the recorded program hours later. The fight took a long time, and it isn't over, but there is much to celebrate these days. I am so thankful that Pete was there as both a witness to history and a reminder to all of us that the fight can be won.
