The review is as touching as the show must have been. Thank you
Bill R, replied to Jeff Thompson's discussion 'Best Online Radio Streams?'
I have to shamelessly promote my own radio show on WESU at 88.1 FM in Middletown CT [www.wesu.fm.org]. Tuesday evenings at 8pm, "Acoustic Blender" can be heard, playing a wide variety of acoustic type music. I can't say the rest…
Bill R, commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'On taking the long windy road to Americana'
The first I don't remember, but I do know the exact album that headed me off into this kind of music. There was a contest on a local radio station and while I don't recall the question, I did know the answer and the prize was Peter,…

"Stranger in a Strange Land" was always a favorite and I always liked the way he and Joe Cocker did Dylan's "Girls from the North Country."
Bill R, commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'flashback...The Weavers: Wasn't That a Time!'
Last week, it was running on the Springfield MA PBS outlet with pledge breaks and they were offering the DVD with new extras, including recent interviews with the surviving Weavers, as an incentive for donating. It isn't…

WIll have to seek this one out. Thanks for the heads up.
Bill R, commented on No Depression's blog post 'Patty Griffin commenting contest'
