The program was presented by ace fiddler and orthopedic surgeon, Roger Hargraves, as I was battling with gale force winds at the Australian Music Festival at Kiama, south of Sydney. A delightful small festival, with a good representation of songs and tunes collected in Australia. The program this week featured the first part of an extended interview with LEO KOTTKE recorded in February by FOLKDJ-er Otto Bost from WDIY-FM in Allentown, PA.

Tex & Tristan Chipolata / The Reality Check / Hoodlum Playlist for 16 May 1999 The featured album was WITH A HEART AND A HAND by Melbourne multi-instrumentalist LOUIS MCMANUS (self published). Martin Carthy has described Louis as "one of the great musicians alive today", and he's also perhaps one of the luckiest, having survived a couple of strokes despite his lifestyle in his younger days not being conducive to longevity. The album is available from Hugh McDonald Studios (Email: bing@alphalink.com.au ) or write to Louis c/- PO Box 477, Brunswick Vic 3056, Australia.

Chloe and Jason Roweth lived just outside Bathurst until recently and they guested on this program to launch their new CD. The following tracks, all Australian material, were scattered through the program: SALVATION JANE; SONGS OF THE BUSH; OLD WILD WOMAN; SONG OF THE SHEET METAL WORKER; SHEARER'S JAMBOREE; STREETS OF FORBES; THE UNEVEN SONG * MILO MOU KOKKINO / The HaBiBis / Highlights 99 / National Folk Festival * THE CREST OF GILMONT / Andrew Clermont / A Feast of Fiddlers / ABC Music * FREEMANTLE STATION / Jindi / Jindi Plays Joe / self published * CASEY JONES / Ten Cent Shooters / Sweet To Mama / Ten Cent Records PORT 'N' BRANDY / Sandra & Nancy Kerr and James Fagan / Scalene / Fellside * THE BALLAD OF GRACE AND SAM / Louisa Wise / This Blue World / self published * THE NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM / Sensitive New Age Cowpersons / Strange On The Range / self published * KILFENORA / Billy Moran / Irish Button Accordion / self published * PONY BOY / Dave Clark / Railhead / self published * IRISH LORDS / Martyn Wyndham Read / Mussels On A Tree / Fellside * CREAMSLEEVES / Dave Alexander / Singer At Large / self published (This album was launched at the National Folk Festival - a compilation of taped songs performed by Dave Alexander, a Sydney singer who passed away in August 1997.) Playlist for 4 April 1999 The program came courtesy of Bathurst's Mr Bluegrass, Ian Hobba, who stayed behind while many of us attended the National Folk Festival in Canberra. A great Festival, with information at http://www.spirit.com.au/~natfolk Ian dug deep into the vinyl for this lot. He's on a real high since remastering a tape of his 1960 high school bluegrass band and burning some CDs. Bluegrass in Broken Hill in 1960 must have been a very scary thing for the general public.

Saturday night our band played for the sesqui-centenary celebrations of the Bowning village school (work's a little slow just now), so Sunday morning brought a three hour drive home through the rain to be on air at 12. The featured album was SIGN OF THE TIMES by Martin Carthy (Topic). Waterson / Carthy played near here twice over the past fortnight, and Martin didn't solo enough IMHO. The following mostly non-traditional tracks were scattered through the program: NEW YORK MINE DISASTER, 1941; GEORGIE; HEARTBREAK HOTEL; HONG KONG BLUES; THE LONESOME DEATH OF HATTIE CARROLL THE FLASH LAD and MORRIS TUNE, THE ROSE, TRUNKLES / Brass Monkey / Sound and Rumour / Topic * MAGPIE MORNING and * THE BUNYIP POLKA, SUCH IS LIFE WITHOUT A BOB / Dave de Hugard / Magpie Morning / Sandstock EYNHALLOW SOUND / Jennifer and Hazel Wrigley / Huldreland / Greentrax FAR FROM HOME / Davie & Ronald Eunson / Folk Music In The Orkney Islands / Attic ROOTAN ABOOT IN THE HEATHER / Billy Budge / Folk Music In The Orkney Islands / Attic NOT AGAIN / Vince Junior / Better Than A Wheel / Wedgie Records THE GATHERING / Kathryn Tickell / The Gathering / Park I'LL SURVIVE / B B King / Blues On The Bayou / MCA * POLKAS / Jindi / Jindi Plays Joe / self-published THE LAST OF THE WIDOWS and BIG MEETING DAY / Jez Lowe / Lowe Life EP / Lowe Life * THE BOUNDARY RIDER'S TALE / Bill Scott / Hey Rain / Restless GOIN' TO THE WEST / Tom, Betty & Nathan Druckenmiller / The Road Home / Little Cat THE KID / Cry Cry Cry / Cry Cry Cry / Razor & Tie * MAZURKAS / Wongawilli / Australian Selection / self-published JUST LIKE A WOMAN / Bob Dylan / Live 1966 / Columbia THE DERBY RAM / John Roberts & Tony Barrand / Dark Ships In The Forest / Folk-Legacy THE BA' RAG / Jennifer and Hazel Wrigley / Huldreland / Greentrax Playlist for 28 February 1999 Still in recovery mode from WOMADELAIDE last weekend, not to mention recovering from the 11 hour 1200 kilometre drive home. Much of the program was music by the festival's performers. Great festival, but don't drink Adelaide water. The featured album was RANAROP - CALL OF THE SEA WITCH by Gjallahorn (Finlandia). The following tracks were scattered through the program: KONUNGEN OCH TROLLKVINNAN; HERR OLOF; I FJOL SA; SOLBON / ASKAN; ELVIRAS VALS / ORAVAIS MENUETT; KULNING * LIVE MAN IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT / Kristina Olsen / Live At The Fairbridge Festival / Fairbridge Festival THE SEAGULL / Fiddlers Bid / Hamnataing / Greentrax ROSIE / The Mollys / Moon Over The Interstate / Apolkalips Now * ANDERSON'S COAST / John Warner & Margaret Walters / Pithead In The Fern / Feathers and Wedge BONAPARTE CROSSING THE RHINE / Simple Gifts / Other Places Other Times / Purple Finch * TIME TO GO / Fruit / South Australian World Music Sampler / Radio 5UV ANNA / Ernest Ranglin / In Search Of The Lost Riddim / Palm Pictures DOUWAYRA / Baaba Maal / Nomad Soul / Palm Pictures DOUBLE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE / Kila / Tog E Go Bog E / Kila * THEN CAME MIKE MUNROE / The Gadflys / Out Of The Bag / Larrikin BILONGO / Las Perlas del Son / Si Senor / Corason * RAUNCHY / Tulipan / Manic Celeste / Festival EMPTY IN SOHO SQUARE / Jackie Leven / Night Lilies / Festival ALAJ VOLIN / Vujicsics with Marta Sebestyen / Heimat Klange / Piranha * THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER / The Fagans / Kitchen Dance / Mossbawn Music Playlist for 14 February 1999 Only a few veiled references to Valentine's Day, and absolutely no references to the much older pagan feast day which honoured Pan and Juno - why complicate matters? It was also the anniversary of the Ayatollah Khomeini issuing a fatwa against Salman Rushdie, but I don't have any songs specific to that event. The featured album was THE WINGS OF BUTTERFLIES by various people singing Les Barker's poetry put to music (Mrs Ackroyd Records). The following tracks were scattered through the program: EARTH (Waterson / Carthy); TWO PER CENT (Phil Beer); SAFE HAVEN (Dave Burland); SOLDIER (Coope, Boyes & Simpson); WAR HORSE TOWN (Steve Tilston) PRETTY BOY FLOYD / David Rovics / Pay Day At Coal Creek / self-published * VARSOVIANA / Jindi / Jindi Plays Joe / self-published * NEW YEAR'S EVE / The Fagans / Common Treasury / Mossbawn Music CARDBOARD BOXES / Loudon Wainwright III / One Man Guy / Music Club * THE BALLAD OF GEORDIE JOHNSON / Pat Drummond / Laughter Like A Shield / Larrikin WAVES OF RUSH / Tabache / Waves Of Rush / Lochshore * SET TUNES MEDLEY and * SING ME TO SLEEP / Harvest Moon Band / In Some Old Shed / Collective Effort DAILY GROWING / Sandy Paton / The Folk Scene / Elektra * PIDDLING PETE / Milton Taylor / Piddling Pete / self-published * BASINGSTOKE / Bernard Bolan / An Eclectic Collection / Eclectic Enterprise LA TURLUTTE A PIT / Bourque Bernard et Le Page / Matapat / Borealis SEX LIES AND VIDEOTAPE / Steve Brooks / Sex Lies & Videotapes / Frog BARBARA'S JIG / Keep It Up / Keep It Up / Foot Stompin' Records * ACROSS THE HILLS / The Fagans / Common Treasury / Mossbawn Music * KITTY KANE / Margaret Walters & John Warner / Pithead In The Fern / Feathers and Wedge * LAST HOUSE IN THE STREET / Enda Kenny / Baker's Dozen / self-published * SATURDAY NIGHT AT MARSHALL MOUNT / Wongawilli / Australian Selection / self-published FAITHFUL JOHNNY / Eileen McGann / Heritage / Greentrax * JOE'S REEL and * ALL A' CHEATING / Jindi / Jindi Plays Joe / self-published Playlist for 7 February 1999 The program included an interview with Marta Sebestyen recorded at 2MCE-FM last week via the Australian vs. Hungarian telephone systems, with much difficulty. Marta is performing at the Womadelaide world music festival in Adelaide later this month and I'm already packing my bags. It's going to be great. I'm also including more vinyl in the program these days, 'cause I need the exercise. The featured album was THE SWAN NECKED VALVE by Alistair Brown (Prospect Records). The following tracks were scattered through the program: THE SWAN NECKED VALVE / THE JENNY LIND POLKA; DOCKYARD GATE; MAGDALENE GREEN / BONNY DOON; LAUNDROMAT LOVER; COLLIER LADDIE; THE FUNERAL / THE TEMPERANCE REEL I KNOW MY LOVE / The Chieftains and The Corrs / I Know My Love / BMG * THE MICKEY DAM / Jimmy Gregory / West Along The Road / CRAIC * SHEARING AT CASTLEREAGH / Gerry Hallom / Travellin' Down The Castlereagh / Fellside DOWN TO THE RIVER / Tim Harrison / Bridges / Northern Breeze TRANSDANUBIAN UGROS / Muzsikas with Marta Sebestyen / The Bartok Album / Hannibal THE WHISTLING POSTMAN / Seamus & Manus McGuire and Daithi Sproule / Carousel / Gael Linn THE LASS DOON ON THE QUAY / High Level Ranters / Ranting Lads / Topic WHISKEY BEFORE BREAKFAST / Tom Saffell / Another Lifetime / AMI MARCH GLAS / Fernhill / Ca Nos / Beautiful Jo MUSIC OF MAGYARBECE / Muzsikas with Marta Sebestyen / The Bartok Album / Hannibal THE TRIPP WIRE and WHAT DID THE PRESIDENT DO / Steve Brooks / Sex Lies and Videotape / Frog Records HOUNDS OF THE MEYNELL / Swan Arcade / Diving For Pearls / Fellside COTTON MILL GIRLS / Gerri Gribi / The Womansong Collection / Lilyfern Records * THE OLD AUSSIE BAND / Home Rule / Joint Effort / Larrikin PO MAHINA / Cyril Pahinui / Night Moon / Dancing Cat Playlist for 31 January 1999 Yasterday was the 350th anniversary of Charles I losing his head. Much debate in these parts about Australia becoming a republic, so we had a few passing references to the monarchy, the English Civil War and what went before it. Today was the anniversary of the opening of the first VD clinic at the Lock Hospital in London, but do you think I could find that song by Christy Moore? The featured album was WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE - The Songs of Pete Seeger, that wonderful project developed by Jim Musselman (Appleseed Recordings). The following tracks were scattered through the program: WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE (Tommy Sands, Dolores Keane & Vedran Smailovic); KISSES SWEETER THAN WINE (Jackson Browne & Bonnie Raitt); MY FATHER'S MANSIONS (Billy Bragg & Eliza Carthy); HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING (Cordelia's Dad); ALL MIXED UP (Peter, Paul & Mary); WIMOWEH (The Weavers); WE SHALL OVERCOME (Bruce Springsteen); DOUBLIN (Si Kahn with The Freighthoppers); QUIET EARLY MORNING (Holly Near) LE REEL IRLANDAIS / La Bottine Souriante / La Mistrine / Musicor PASTURES OF PLENTY and THE DOWNFALL OF PARIS / JSD Band / Pastures Of Plenty / Lochshore * MANCHESTER HORNPIPE and THE NUMERALLA SHORE / Alan Scott / Travelling Through The Storm / Fanged Wombat * TWENTY YEARS AGO / Eric Bogle / Singing The Spirit Home / Larrikin LEANFAIDH ME and CRANN NA BPINGINI / Kila / Tog E Go Bog E / Festival COAL MINER'S BLUES / Ann & Phil Case / The Springtime Of Life / Dry Run Recordings MOUNT AND GO / Archie Fisher / The Man With A Rhyme / Folk-Legacy LONDON DANNY / Jez Lowe / Bad Penny / Firebird Music THE GOOD SHIP KANGAROO / Planxty / After The Break / Tara THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN / Leon Rosselson / That's Not The Way It's Got To Be / Fuse Records WHEN CANNONS ARE ROARING and THE ROYAL HEAD IS SEVERED / Strawhead / Law Lies Bleeding / Dragon Records * SWEENEY'S DREAM / Elaine Jeffrreys & Andy Reid / Southerly Breeze / Artsound Playlist for 24 January 1999 Judiciously avoiding all easy opportunities to find relevant themes (eg. Neil Diamond's birthday on the 24th, Robert Burns' birthday on the 25th and Australia Day on the 26th), the program retained its usual chaotic structure, claiming not even tenuous links with anything happening in the real world. It's just too hot, even in the studio. The featured album was JACK-IN-THE-GREEN by Magpie Lane (Beautiful Jo). The following tracks were scattered through the program: THAME FAIR; THE FLOWERS OF EDINBURGH; A ROSEBUD IN JUNE; JACK-IN-THE-GREEN / JACK'S ALIVE; THE SHEEPSTEALER; QUICKSTEP AT THE BATTLE OF PRAGUE / WELCH'S POLKA HIGHWAY CAFE / Tom Waites / Pearls In The Snow / Kinkajou THE BANDON CAR / Jimmy Crowley / Uncorked / Greentrax BATTLE OF THE SOMME, FREEDOM COME ALL YE / The Dubliners / If It Wisnae For The Union / Greentrax HEART OF A MINER / Nanci Griffith / Poet In My Window / Philo HAWKS AND EAGLES and CHILDREN OF AFRICA / The Wilson Family / The Wilson Family Album / Harbourtown * JAMIE ALLEN / Mike and Michelle Jackson / Patchwork / Larrikin CORRUGATED CARDBOARD BOXES / Debbie Diedrich / Ninety Miles Out / self published * PIPE TUNES / Gordon McIntyre & Danny Spooner / Revived and Relieved / Larrikin BROWN HAIRED MAIDEN OF THE GOATS / Bonny Rideout / Soft May Morn / Maggie's Music DEATHBED CONFESSION / Those Darn Accordions / No Strings Attached / Globe PEG KELLEY'S BLACK CAT and THE BALLYMOTE / Kevin Henry / One's Own Place / BogFire MAZURCHE / La Ciapa Rusa / Retanavota / New Tone SOMEWHERE IN JAPAN, THINK AGAIN and SWEEP CHIMNEY SWEEP / The Wilson Family / The Wilson Family Album / Harbourtown ACROSS THE LINE / Martyn Wyndham Read / Across The Line / Greenwich Village JOHN HARDY / Alvin Youngblood Hart / Territory / Hannibal FIFTY CENT SNEAKERS / Al Grierson / Things That Never Added Up To Me / Folkin' Eh * CASTLES IN THE AIR / Phyl Lobl / Man Of The Earth / Larrikin I'M JUST A DEAD GUY / Denise Moser / Bright Side Up / self published * MR HOT WEATHER / Bernard Carney / The Bernard Carney Collection / Tempo OLD COUNTRY POLKA / Brave Combo / Polkatharsis / Rounder Playlist for 17 January 1999 While conducting a search among the vinyl for a Robert W. Service poem put to music by Debbie McClatchy (RWS turned 125 on the 16th) I kept finding albums which hadn't seen a turntable in years, so I threw a few in the mix. I really must do this more often. But CDs are soooo easy. The featured album was REDWOOD CATHEDRAL by Dick Gaughan (Greentrax). The following track were scattered through the program: MUIR AND THE MASTER BUILDER; GONE, GONNA RISE AGAIN; OCTOBER SONG; LET IT BE ME; ALL THE KING'S HORSES; PANCHO AND LEFTY; TURN TURN TURN * FLASH JACK FROM GUNDAGAI / The Bushwackers / Flash Jack From Gundagai / Avenue I'LL BUY BOOTS FOR MAGGIE / Boys Of The Lough / Regrouped / Topic DICK TURPIN / Pete Morton / Trespass / Harbourtown ROAD TO EILAT / Pete Seeger / Pete Seeger / Everest BRIGHAM YOUNG / Rosalie Sorrels / The Lonesome Roving Wolves / Green Linnet * UISGE BEATHA / Roaring Jack / The Cat Among The Pigeons / Mighty Boy SPEAKING IN TONGUES / Sheila Chandra / Weaving My Ancestors' Voices / Real World VIRGENCITA DE MI VIDA / Trio San Antonio / Viva El West Side / Arhoolie LONG WAY TO TIPPERARI / Mance Lipscomb / Texas Blues and 3 Other Songs / Arhoolie THE DOVETAIL JIGS / Grey Larsen / The Gathering / Sugar Hill THE BALLAD OF BLASPHEMOUS BILL / Debbie McClatchy / Lady Luck / Green Linnet PRAIRIE SERENADE / Riders In The Sky / Prairie Serenade / Rounder THE EAGLE AND THE ISLANDERS / Paul Metsers / Fifth Quarter / SAGEM * LULU'S BACK IN TOWN / The Ragabillys / Live At Fairbridge Festival / Fairbridge COWBOY'S BARBARA ALLEN / Art Thieme / The Older I Get, The Better I Was / Waterbug BEAUTY SPOT / Fisherstreet / Out In The Night / Mulligan LA TAPINIE / La Bottine Souriante / Chic n' Swell / Green Linnet SZERESS EGYET, S LEGYEN SZEP / Marta Sebestyen & Muszikas / Hannibal Playlist for 10 January 1999 Successfully avoided any mention of Elvis' birthday, but couldn't resist reference to the '8th of January' as the name of the tune for Jimmy Driftwood's history lesson about a certain battle which took place on that date. The featured album was the compilation NEW CELTIC DIMENSIONS released on the Lochshore label. The following tracks were scattered through the program: CAN O'TEA (Ross Kennedy & Archie McAllister); THE BRAES O' GIGHT (Ian F.

Just made it back in time for the program today after a later than planned departure from Gulgong Folk Festival this morning. Great venues - Gulgong is a small country town with four pubs and the amazing Prince of Wales Opera House (acoustics to die for). Throat sore from three days of singing; fingers sore from three days of playing. The best way to see in the new year - in pain and suffering sleep deprivation. The featured album was THE BARLEY GRAIN FOR ME by Margaret Christl & Ian Robb (Folk-Legacy). The following tracks were scattered through the program: SAVE YOUR MONEY WHILE YOU'RE YOUNG; THE CROCKERY WARE; OH, NO, NOT I; THE BARLEY GRAIN FOR ME; JACK, THE COWBOY; WILLIE DROWNED IN ERO; THE BANKS OF NEWFOUNDLAND.
