Watch for a couple awesome Bowie covers, as well as folks covering Nat King Cole, Sinatra, War, and many others. If you don't like cover versions, join me on Monday 2/9 from 1-3pm. I bet at least one of my selections will tempt you to the other side.

In the Key of Folk, Feb. 4, 2026: Honoring Bill Wagman and his wonderful house concerts

Today on In the Key of Folk: Nirvana can be defined as "a place of complete bliss and delight and peace." I'm going to say that many of us felt that when we were there at Bill's house concerts. Bill was always gracious, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in all of us. He made us feel welcome. The musicians who graced his living room became his friends, those of us who came to listen often became like family. Last week and today I'm playing tracks from a small portion of the musicians who graced his living room, so step inside and join us at 2 p.m. today, Wednesday.
