The Folk Brothers for July 20, 2022: The Folk Brothers debate 'Once Were Brothers'

Although the "Once Were Brothers" documentary has been out for a few years, The Folk Brothers only streamed it this past week (it's available on Hulu and Kanopy). We listened to a track by The Band and the song from which the doco got its title, then mildly debated the merits of a story told only thru Robbie Robertson's point of view.

Also today: new tracks from Joan Shelley, Martin Joseph, Lloyd Maines, Lucy Kaplansky, Kathy Kallick, and more.

Celtic Tunes and Song

Featured this week on Celtic Songlines is Prarie Druid Paddy Tutty, jigs and reels with the band Fiddle Case, Quentin Cooper and Mary Casty, Emily Smith & Jamie McClennon, Ashley Davis. Ashly was nominated and selected as a voting member of the Recording Academy. Congratulations and respect, Ashley! Also on the program the band Tannas, fiddler Liz Carroll with guitarist and vocalist John Doyle and, finally, the Young Dubliners.

Davisville, July 18, 2022: Collecting tangible memories of past campaigns

Today we dig into a form of American political expression that dates way back in U.S. history, applies to any type of view or opinion, and leaves behind artifacts of campaigns that helped shape who we are: political campaign buttons and memorabilia, powered by the people, events and aspirations the items represented. My guests are Bob Warren—son of Earl Warren, former governor of California and onetime chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court—and Adam Gottlieb. Both live in Davis, and both are active in American Political Items Collectors, which has its next national convention in Reno July 22-23.

And if you happen to find a certain button from the 1920 Cox/Roosevelt campaign in a box you inherited from your grandparents, your ship has just come in.
