Happy New Year, Everybody! I’m planning to write a more proper New Year’s greeting ASAP, but at the moment I’m in haste to catch a plane to Newark because I’ll be appearing on a popular free-form roots music program Saturday morning—Crash on the Levee, with host, Jerry Treacy, on WFDU-FM. Those who live in the NYC area can listen on the radio at 89.1 FM, and everyone can listen online at www.wfdu.fm
I’ll be on the air from about 10 a.m. EST until about 10:45 or so, and I’m really looking forward to it because it will be the first time I’ll meet Jerry in person. We’ve been corresponding for a while, and I’ve come to see him as a genuine supporter of non-commercial music. I’ve enjoyed his newsletters and am impressed by all of the good work he’s doing to promote community radio and, specifically, roots genres! Check out his program Web site at www.crashonthelevee.com and Facebook page at http://www.facebook .com/jerry. treacy#!/ ?ref=home
I’ll play a few songs live, and we’ll spin a couple from the new record and just sit and visit. It is a rare thing these days . . . Y’all come!
