  • Rod MacDonald - Rants and Romance
    I’d like to welcome musician Rod MacDonald to the WPKN airwaves. A veteran of the Greenwich Village folk scene, MacDonald was a constant presence at many of New York’s most prestigious folk clubs, including Gerdes Folk City and the Bottom Line, and he still tours extensively. Rod is currently living in Delray Florida. Rod teaches an ongoing series of master classes at Florida Atlantic U where he lectures on popular music. He has a fine new album out called Rants and Romance that WPKN’S own Robin Batteau turned me on too and I’m so glad he did. That’s why I invited Rod here today.
