***playlist for 21 May 2002***
Jerry Grcevich; Vatrogasna Polka and Kada Cujem Tambure (The Fireman's Polka and When I Hear Tamburitzas); Deeper Polka; Smithsonian-Folkways 2002
[I like the music but my pronunciation of Polish on the air needs serious assistance!]
Jerry Grcevich; Daj Mi Daj (Allow Me); Deeper Polka; Smithsonian-Folkways 2002 [It would be very helpful if every record company would provide a pronunciation guide with such recordings as this]
Jerry Grcevich; Maja Juliska (My Julie); Deeper Polka; Smithsonian-Folkways 2002 [how realistic is it for the publishers of ethnic music to expect DJ's to be able to properly pronounce unfamiliar words and names? Make it easier for us and we'll be able to better serve you. No DJ wants to seem foolish by mispronouncing names and titles on the air. It's easier to simply not play music identified by difficult to pronounce names, titles and descriptions. But then so much ethnic music is invigorating and moving so that it's troublesome to ignore or bypass it.]

[older recordings of the late Rick Danjo plus Jonas Fjeld of Norway and Eric Andersen of the U. S. of A.]
Rachael Sage; Angel; Illusions's Carnival; MPress 2002

Willie Nelson; Red Headed Stranger (Suite); Willie and Family Live; Columbia

I Couldn't Believe It Was True
Medley: Blue Rock Montana;
Red Headed Stranger;
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain;
Red Headed Stranger/Just As I Am.
recorded at Harrah's, Lake Tahoe]
[[Having been raised a rather culturally-isolated Deep South Episcopalian in the nineteen-fifties and sixties I never heard the compelling Baptist invitational hymn, Just As I Am, until hearing Nelson's album, Red Headed Stranger in the 1970's. Nelson's version of this deceptively simple song of salvation is passionate enough for even a back-slidden whiskopalian to notice]]
Willie Nelson; Under The Double Eagle; Willie and Family Live; Columbia, double lp, 1975
[Sharon tells me that this song is lively enough for Buck Dancing. Asking the difference between Buck Dancing and Clogging she informed me that Buck Dancing is what farmers cut loose with while Clogging is more of a competitive sport which developed much later]
Pete Seeger; Garden Song; Circles and Seasons; Warner Brothers, lp, 1979
[This is Pete's unique version of the song by David Mallett]
Two of A Kind; All Those People (Shouldn't Have Died); (single); Magillacutty Music 2001
[David and Jenny Heitler-Klevans]
Eddy Lawrence; Catching A Dream; Going To Water; Snowplow; 2001 [how much better a world like ours might be if...if...if... but all we have is what we have and that's what we have with which to build tomorrow]

Allman Brothers Band; Statesboro Blues; Hotels, Motels and Road Shows; Capricorn lp 1978
[a brief excerpt of this classic rock song to show what can happen to a folk blues if you don't keep it locked in a box in the bottom of your closet.]
Special Thanks to my musician friend, Buddy Polhemus, a.k.a. Chapman James, who honored me with a wonderful gift for my 54th birthday: This Land Was Made for You and Me, the Life and Stories of Woody Guthrie, by Elizabeth Partridge; Viking Books, 2002; www.penguinputnam.com www.elizabethpartridge.com
Buddy works at Books A Million in my former hometown of Birmingham and raises children in his spare time! For some reason that remains mysterious Buddy has recorded some of my original music and thinks I should write the story of my insignificant life. Who does he think I am, Milton Berle?
Thanks, Buddy!
[Finally: You know some music is very dangerous because it makes guys like me think they can dance!]

Spring in the central border region of Alabama/Georgia is very pleasant with few bugs, full sun, and tolerable temperature. Working in the vegetable garden now is a real pleasure, more fun sometimes than folk music! What an amazing Earth creation we the living have been given!
***notes for 7 May 2002 show***
The good news is that I was able to prepare the program and record it hours before showtime. The bad news is that the student responsible for playing the tape on the air didn't. To be charitable and fair today was the last day of final exams at SUWG. Perhaps I didn't clearly communicate with this student that I would not be live-hosting my show. Maybe this program can be used at a later date. Since I am the only one who heard the show I can state with confidence that everyone who heard the program was very satisfied with the many songs featured. Thanks to all the musicians featured and to their generous and wise promoters.
