A Last Chorus For Those Who Died in 2009

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

Sing Out! magazine aptly titles their obituaries as a “Last Chorus” for those departed from the folk music world. This is a “listen back” to just a small portion of the work and artistry of those who left this Earth in 2009. Several portions of “Profiles in Folk” or entire shows were dedicated to a handful of these artists throughout the year. The list of those departed was particularly lengthy for 2009 and the majority of this show only touches briefly on a handful of those who made significant contributions to the world of folk and acoustic music. Their musical legacies live on, however.

About a quarter of this show was devoted to artists (*) who will be appearing in our broadcast area during the next week, carrying on the musical tradition.
