We have a double rebroadcast this week. The web page was created on April 22, 2017 and the show that evening was a classic rebroadcast: a 15-year rewind to April 2002 and 2005 with clips from several shows at The Town Hall in New York City. Kate Rusby sings "Botany Bay" and "I Courted a Sailor," Billy Collins reads "Love" and "Forgetfulness," and the Fiddlers 4 play "I Know" and "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free." Plus: The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band plays Rich Dworsky's "Southern Hospitality"; a New York, New York travelogue; and a message from the Catchup Advisory Board. In Lake Wobegon, high school students prepare for life after graduation. www.prairiehome.org/shows/55663.html?

GUEST INFORMATION
KATE RUSBY Kate Rusby is carrying a heavy weight of praise lately; the Daily Telegraph called her "the brightest light in English folk music," and the BBC said she was "One of the ten top folk voices of the century." She's bearing up well under all the fine words, maintaining a sense of humor and still singing "heart-stopping ballads about death, destruction, jealousy, unrequited love, drowning," which she calls "Castle knocking down songs." She has three albums out on Pure Records, her family's company; Sleepless, Hourglass and Little Lights. They are selling "astonishingly well," as they say, not only over there but over here as well. And she is getting airplay on mainstream radio; and even if she's just past the point of being a rising star, she is apparently still approachable enough for complete strangers to come up to her on the street and say things like: "I hate folk music, but I love YOU."
BILLY COLLINS
Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Collins, Poet Laureate of the United States. That's it. It's all one would have to say by way of introduction, no matter what the event. But we add a few bibliographical bits here, not so much to polish the apple as to provide the backdrop: His poems have been published in The Paris Review, Poetry, American Poetry Review, The Atlantic Monthly, The American Scholar, The New Yorker, Harper's, and many others. He is a Guggenheim Fellow, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, and a New York Library Literary Lion. Questions About Angels was a winner of the National Poetry Series publication prize; The Art of Drowning is his fifth book of poetry. He is professor of English at Lehman College of the City University of New York. He lives in Somers, New York. John Updike said: "Billy Collins writes lovely poems ... Limpid, gently and consistently startling, more serious than they seem, they describe all the worlds that are and were and some others besides."
FIDDLERS 4
Fiddlers 4 began as an informal jam session after a Fiddle Tunes Festival in Port Townsend, Washington, among Michael Doucet, Darol Anger, and Bruce Molsky. Things went well and they reunited later that summer for an intense two-day session in Colorado, along with cellist Rushad Eggleston. The album that resulted might have been called, in the current understated vernacular, Monster Fiddle Bash, but they are okay with the modest Fiddlers 4; on Compass Records. Michael Doucet brings the pepper intensity of his double-Grammy band Beausoleil; Darol Anger the dazzling weld of jazz and bluegrass from the Turtle Island String Quartet; Bruce Molsky, whom they like to call "the Rembrandt of Appalachian Fiddling," provides the old time high lonesome drive; and all of it held together by the talented and innovative Eggleston, a newly minted pro who, it is said, "has already done things on the cello nobody's ever done before." He is the first string student ever given a full scholarship at the Berklee School of Music.

Sounds like a good show. Unfortunately, I'll be over at our daughter's. That's ground zero for my sister and her fella, niece from Tampa, and niece from AZ with her new baby. We'll start the grill in a minute. So, have a good time!

Hey DW! Thanks for posting the link. Have a wonderful time with your family - it sounds like fun.
I'm a bit late for the show start as I was downstairs unpacking, sorting, organizing, cleaning and downsizing but finally hit a good time for a break.

You're no doubt right about Jay though it's hard to keep track of what he's doing as he doesn't post much.
I'm eating a late lunch/early dinner while I listen for a bit, then I'll start up again on sorting papers and organizing files while I listen to the rest of the show.
Enjoy the time with family!

Yes, I didn't know about Fiddlers 4 but they sounded great. Of course I've always liked Michael Doucet and Beau Soleil.

I didn't realize Kate was still touring.
So many of the artists we loved 20 years ago have retired or are no longer with us at all. Except the Rolling Stones! They just keep on rolling.

That is a long list of great performers who are still at it, most impressive!
I've been thinking of buying tickets to see the Beach Boys this summer in Seattle as it's in a smaller outdoor location. I also thought about seeing the Stones again as I really had a great time when I saw them for the first time in my life in August 2019. They remain an impressive group and Mick Jagger is incredibly energetic, constantly running up and down the stage and its catwalk for 2 & 1/2 hours? But it's a big stadium show with all the attendant crowds, lines, limitations of small transparent "stadium bag." That is a whole lot of trouble, no matter how great the concert.

But it's a big stadium show with all the attendant crowds, lines, limitations of small transparent "stadium bag." That is a whole lot of trouble, no matter how great the concert. There are very few reasons anymore to go to a live concert of a very famous performer or group. Prices are out of reach, crowds unruly, parking a pain, and may or may not even be able to enjoy the concert for various technical reasons... I watched a little bit of the Billy Joel concert which was recorded from his 100th performance at Madison Square Garden, which he is doing at the rate of one per month for as long as his shows are mostly sold out. They say tickets are very expensive, but watching on my tv was very enjoyable.. and it was no hassle at all! I realize not all artists are accessible but eventually I think most do have something air for the masses!

P.S. The news media are thinking that Billy Joel takes home about $3 million per concert now.

I have to report that I did not participate in the annual celebration of 420 day. There were a number of places in town that had advertisements out all this week! There is a constitutional amendment on the Florida ballot for this Fall that would 'legalize" recreational usage but who knows what that would really mean. Our Governor and his pals say they will fight it all the way, because it will make Florida stink!! Personally I would prefer that it not be legalized because I am convinced that it would just prompt more DUIs

Billy is doing pretty well then. Like Elton John and Celine Dion (who had "in residence" engagements in Las Vegas), her figured out that staying in one place and letting the crowds find you is an easier way to go than touring.
Dead & Company are doing an "in residence" gig at The Sphere in Vegas this spring/summer and I am still considering going. The Sphere as a performance venue is an experience in itself, at 17,000 it's much smaller than a stadium venue. and seeing Dead & Company there must be a unique experience. The tickets start at about $250 but it really is a "once in a lifetime" experience. Or you can go more if you're a Deadhead, but for me, I'd be fine just doing it once. Just like I did when I saw the Dead at Red Rocks - yes, they were doing a three night gig, but I went for one night.
Allegiant Air runs cheap non-stops to LAS, and I love Vegas for a short getaway, small doses. I've been talking with a friend from college who is a real Deadhead, trying to talk him into a trip to Las Vegas. He has never been to the Southwest at all so of course we'd need to see the Grand Canyon. I've missed that kind of travel since we no longer live in the Southwest.

Good luck with your cleaning. sorting and packing this week!! Here in Washington the State there are almost as many marijuana shops as coffee shops! I even qualify for medical marijuana in most states but I don't partake - it messes up my thinking and makes me non-functional. I can't afford that - I've got too much of that Swedish Death Cleaning type work to do. Enjoy the time with family and the rest of your weekend DW.
