tonight's show featured Tom Russell's,
"The Man From God Knows Where." It's subtitled,
"An Immigrant Song Cycle Featuring Tom Russell, Iris DeMent,
Dolores Keane, Dave Van Ronk, Sondre Bratland, Kari Bremnes
and Walt Whitman." www.hightone.com
One thing most of us Americans have in common is that we are descended
from immigrants to this continent.
I plan to include many more of the 26 songs on this CD on future shows.
Listen to the whole album, song by song,
for more complete enjoyment and understanding.
For a brief review of the album: http://www.llamagraphics.com/Meadow/Music/musicTomRussell.html
**********************************************************************
'Thank yous' to all the people who saw fit to furnish recordings
and live music for this show! I'm way behind in listening thoroughly
to all the CD's sent to me. It takes alot more concentration, energy,
enthusiasm, tolerance and time than I have; so, please be patient and
know that as long as I'm alive there's still hope that your music
will be heard on my show. But if I don't have your CD I can't very
well play it. Here's an idea: help build a library to house all the
CD's! Also, note that I, too, am a singer/songwriter with professional
concerns of my own. Think of me as a peer not as a flunky for your aspirations.
Help me understand who you are and what your music is all about but
not every week, as I already get too much mail/email.
Let me know you are there every six months or so.
What's on your mind, brothers and sisters?]

(from, 'Leaves of Grass')
America
-Walt Whitman
Centre of equal daughters, equal sons,
All, all alike endear'd, grown, ungrown, young or old,
Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich,

A grand, sane, towering, seated Mother,
Chair'd in the adamant of Time.

[I'd like to start hearing Tom's folk music show on WUWG again.
It's called River City Folk and is produced in Nebraska.
If the program's producer would send us a CD of the show every week
I believe we would regularly air it. I could try to get to the station a
little early and make sure that it's aired at 7 pm, though not always.
Those incoming satellite feeds are easy for the student shift workers to
miss. Often the DAT tapes made by student workers just don't properly
reproduce the show, in my opinion.- SS]

'And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee;
but let me first go bid them farewell,
which are at home at my house.
And Jesus said unto him,
No man, having put his hand to the plough,
and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.'
