Please join me for Pastures of Plenty on October 12th. The first pair has songs I recall from childhood: "Marianne" and "Jamaica Farewell." Both from the mid-1950s. I don’t remember listening to the radio much, but I can sing along with both. Shows what I know. The second pair is from Pickathon Music Festivals: "The Oak and The Laurel" 2002 and "Back in Your Own Backyard" 2004. The third pair, near the end of the program, reminds us that humans are violent creatures: "Stories of Valor" 2022 and "Handsome Johnny" 1966.
Lots of good folk music fills out the show. Thanks for reading this and for listening to your community radio station. Will
