SHOW-TITLE

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

Many Branches of the Folk Tree A bit of whimsy crept into this week’s program, with two sets dedicated to classic ragtime tunes recorded between 1916 and 1929 and polkas, including our tribute to this weekend’s 43rd annual Super Bowl of professional football. But, it was good music all.

A major portion of show following the ragtime and polka sets was devoted to examples of how a younger generation is expanding the limits of folk music in quite positive ways, boding well for the future of the music.
