My thanks for some lovely notes about our Tom Lehrer Bday commemoration as well as some requests for next time for one of the new artists we played---Cal Scott. Agreed, he is really wonderful.
On another note now---you probably have heard of the new piece by Brad Paisley about "The Accidental Racist". Not my idea of a good song but there is one I have hesitated to play---AND--you will not hear it on mainstream media (not even on the left side of the dial). Grant Peeples piece---Nigger Lover. Do not let the title fool you---it is a terrific piece of work and I suggest you go to his website to find out more about it(and listen to it)---or request it for TRADITIONS. If I get enough of them---say 12 (even dozen) I will take the bull by the horns and play it.
Now for some comments about today's artists that seemed, to me, quite outstanding in the "new" category----Cal Scott, Zoe Mulford, Lauren Sheehan, and Dan Berggren.
Some faces to put with today's voices---
