Meet the Folks!

Que Pasa?

2010-04-29T09:50:00.001-07:00

Hi! I hope people have been liking the show :)!
Last night we featured Spanish music as our theme, because Mister Ross Tasch gets to go to Madrid for two months! Woot! Lucky duck!

Christy has a French background... so we played a little French bed music :).

Anywho -- this is what we played! Hope you liked it! We'd love to hear suggestions for shows -- or if you know anyone with some folk background that would like to play on our show, let us know!

Civil Rights!

2010-02-18T10:02:00.000-08:00

Hello!

We hope everyone has been getting their Olympic Fix... and possibly watched the Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, etc... performance at the White House last Wednesday -- which became our motivation for this weeks show! Civil Rights!

Many of the songs were either originally hymns, turned into songs, notably by Zilphia Horton and her husband and others, that originated during this time period in a struggle for freedom.

We hope you guys tune in this Wednesday @ 7 (when the stream isn't down). We're on an adventure to try and find sport-based songs.

This is Christy, and I had too much dairy today...

Anywho!

We are going to post what we played last Wednesday -- I hope you all tuned in!

Our theme was Women in Folk, I think it went over pretty well! We didn't get as much depth with artists as we would have liked... but on the bright side, we got a Production Assistant! *claps*

His name is Kevin, and he's been pretty help, and I'm sure you'll hear more about him or from him shortly...
