Fall Pledge Drive

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

It’s the WSHU Fall Pledge Drive and we’re doing our part to keep folk music on the WSHU airwaves. My thanks to those listeners who made pledges during this two hour show and to WSHU Chief Engineer Paul Litwinovich who helped pitch the show.

As for the show’s music, it was a typical mix of a few selections from new releases; songs about the Franklin Expedition to find a Northwest Passage in Canada that tie into recent news events; a memorial remembrance of 9/11; a set of one group (the Johnson Girls) coming to the rescue of another (Finest Kind) who had to cancel shows in our broadcast area this week on short notice because of illness, and a “good night” set.

It’s the variety heard each week on “Profiles in Folk.”
