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

Si Kahn - Sunday, November 7th!

Give a listen to a great show on Sunday, November 7th, when Si Kahn joins me in the studio to talk about his newest release, Courage, and his book, Creative Community Organizing. Si will also be Wanda Fisher's guest the night before on the Hudson River Sampler.

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!!

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 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!!
