That's Life with Don Saylor

SOUP'S ON !!!

Todays conversation is with Don Saylor who, in addition to all his years of serving the public, hosts a delicious fundraiser each year for a community non-profit organization.  2022's beneficiary is Davis Media Access (DMA).  This is the last year Don will host "Soup's On" because he is retiring this year.  Today was my chance to ask about Don's history, his present, and his future plans.  

Information about 2022's "Soup's On" is available at https://donsaylor.org/soups-on

 

The Folk Brothers for April 6, 2022: Story songs

We program a lot of traditional music on the Folk Brothers, but we also find great contemporary ballads -- story songs -- to play. A case in point is the three pieces we presented this morning: West Virginian Chris Haddox's new song about Mikhail Kalashnikov, the reluctant inventor of the automatic rifle; Brighton (UK) band Bird In The Belly's (pictured here) song "After London," based on Victorian naturalist and author Richard Jeffries' post-apocalyptic sci-fi novel "After The City"; and No-No Boy's song about the Sand Creek Massacre of the Cheyenne in 1864.

Also on today's show: new tracks from Tony Furtado, Brittany Hass, Midnight North, and Kieran Kane and Rayna Gellert.
