Since music is such an important part of my life, a lot of the material here will address that topic. I often listen to terrific new artists and I realize that so few people hear them or know about them. In New York, there's a radio station WFUV-FM that is about the only station I know of that plays what they refer to as "City Folk". You can go to their website at wfuv.org and get an idea of what they are playing. If you don't live in New York, you can listen to WFUV streaming on the web by clicking HERE
Anyway, one of my latest folk heroes is Dan Bern. For a sample, try this song. It's on his album "New American Language" and the title is "God Said No". (5 Mb mp3). Other samples are on the website.
