Catching Up!

Seems like lately it's been tough to keep up with my playlist! Visit from Si Kahn was terrific! He was inspirational for sure!! Great music - great conversation - and a real nice morning.

Nancy Walker will be my guest on Sunday, November 28th, when she'll sing some tunes from her new cd paying tribute to the community of Greenfield Center. I've heard it already - and the cd is great!

Looking forward to playing Christmas music the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I've got some new Christmas cds......one is a compilation put together by Christine Lavin that promises to be a real keeper!

Don't forget that there is always a lot of great music on WSPN 91.1 each Sunday morning - and every day - broadcasting from Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY

Red Molly Changes ....

I just got a nice note from Carolann Solebello announcing her impending departure from Red Molly. I'll be sad to see her go. Red Molly was so tight and right on the mark at their recent performance at the Crandall Library in Glens Falls, that I thought they could not be better. Their last gig together will be at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, where Red Molly was born in 2004.

Molly Venter will join the group in Carolann's place.

Best wishes to Carolann as she pursues a solo career. She already has a great solo cd out entitled, Glass of Desire, due to be reviewed in the summer issue of Sing Out.

Christine Lavin's "Mem-Wha!"

I was so pleased to receive a promo copy of Christine Lavin's new book, Cold Pizza for Breakfast: A Mem-Wha?!! While I've only gotten through 1/2 the book (slow reader and was trying to finish the book I was already into).....my folkie friend, Mike Regenstreif, has written a wonderful review on his blog (Mike's blog). There are many references to Christine's time in Saratoga and with Lena at the Caffe....(Mike also add his memories in the review.). But most of all, it's a wonderfully honest look at Christine's personal and professional life.

I'm eager to finish this read (it'll happen this week!). I love all that Christine does...she's funny, poignant, hopeful, and, most of all, a wonderful friend to those in the folk world. Pick up a copy this summer....you won't have a better read!!

I won't be doing my show on Sunday, June 6th. My pal, Mark Hodge, will take over the controls and do a great job providing some wonderful Australian folk/rock music. I'll be back on the air June 12th.

The Felice Brothers open for Dave Matthews on Saturday night (6/5) at SPAC (Saratoga Performing Arts Center).....If it wasn't for the other 20,000 people who will be there that night, I'd be in the front row for the Felice Brothers....I've grown accustomed to smaller, less crowded venues.....

It's been a very busy week and, I can't believe I'm just now posting last Sunday's show when another one is right on my heels tomorrow! I got to see Red Molly at the Crandall Library in Glens Falls on Thursday night. They were terrific! I have all 3 of their cds and remember when they first met and began playing together at Falcon Ridge. Their music just keeps getting better, their vocals tighter and their stage presence more polished...a class act for sure! If you can catch them in your area, do it!!

Jakob Dylan

Nice article in today's USA Today on Jakob Dylan. The new cd, Women and Country, is terrific. Dylan will be at The Egg on April 17th - along with Shawn Colvin - but not on the same stage - it's two separate concerts......Should be one great night!
