This week we present a program entitled “We're In Good Hands.” Traditional music often seems in peril as young folks choose to pursue pop music dreams and consider traditional music to be archaic and outmoded. This edition will help to allay your anxieties as we feature some younger players choosing the path less taken - traditional music. We'll hear from Sarah Morgan, Brad Kolodner, Jake Blount, Max Allard, The Piros, The Onlies and others. We'll also offer a review of Hurricane Clarice, the CD from Allison De Groot and Tatiana Hargreaves, and play three tunes.

This week we feature a program of acoustic blues. The style has never been as popular as it is today. Perhaps it's a reaction to the pandemic or is just a style of music which is ideal to be played by a single musician, especially in a time of quarantine.

The audience for country music in the years following the World War II was predominently male and many of the records were destined for the juke boxes that thrived in the bars and watering holes where this working class audience gathered.

When I was a kid, except for my birthday and Christmas, Halloween was my favorite holiday. It was the day when my friends and I could freely wander the neighborhood playing pranks that seem tame today - we soaped car windows, threw toilet paper, rang doorbells and threw dried corn. This week we'll listen to some of my favorite music which reminds me of those late October nights full of tomfoolery. We'll hear Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Archie Fisher, Dave Fry and many more. So, turn down the lights, light a candle or two and enjoy Halloween … this week on the Sing Out!
