First Hour: Live In WSHU's Studio A: Damien Connolly & Sally Tressler Connolly
Second Hour: A Tribute to Dear Old Dad
We welcomed back to WSHU Public Radio for our first hour the wonderful duet of All-Ireland accordion and melodeon player Damien Connolly and his spouse, Irish flute player Sally Tressler Connolly.
Singer Michael McCann, who has appeared on “Profiles in Folk” several times and just happens to be Sally’s uncle, joined them! Damien and Sally performed several live pieces and Michael discussed the upcoming Connecticut Irish Festival,
Feis & Agricultural Fair in North Haven, at which Damien and Sally will also be performing along with Liz McNicholl. WSHU Chief Engineer Paul Litwinovich mixed the sound for the evening’s festivities.
For the second hour, in observance of Father's Day this coming Sunday, we offered a musical tribute to Dear Old Dad in several ways: Tunes and songs about specific fathers, a “fathers and sons” set, and songs from father's
about their children.
