Tough Choices Surrounded By Old Songs

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

This program centered on three outstanding shows that will be offered on the same night in our broadcast area (in addition to a host of other folk concerts), making for a tough choice for folk music aficionados. The superb Canadian trio Finest Kind will be singing their fine vocal arrangements in Branford, fellow Canadian and outstanding singer-songwriter James Keelaghan will be appearing in Hartford and in our town of Fairfield there will be an Irish star-studded tribute concert for 80-year-old Joe Derrane, a living legend of the D/C# accordion.

Wrapped around the musical centerpieces was another trip down nostalgia lane as I pulled some beautiful "oldies" out of the folk vault.
