Yes, coming from the Philadelphia/Delaware area, I agree with all that WXPN
is the closest thing we have for a large folk music station, although they
have been straying further and further away from folk music as their
mainstay. If you are lucky enough to live between Philadelphia and
Baltimore, you may be able to receive WVUD (91.3) from the University of
Delaware. They have more folk music than any other station in the area,
Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to noon, and from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. on Saturdays (Saturdays are old-time, bluegrass, and etc.). Also
missing from any mention that I saw was WAMU (88.5) from American
University in Washington, D.C., which is usually playing bluegrass music
whenever I drive through that area (although I have heard NPR news radio
also, so I am not positive that they still have the bluegrass programming.)
I think hearing about different folk radio stations around the country is
great dialogue for all of us fans who travel, I will certainly be keeping a
list for my next trip.

hey all!
i'm new to this list and i wanted to put in my 2cents about great radio
stations. KMUD in Redway California is a GREAT station..musically diverse
with lots of folk and world music. some of my other favorites (can you
tell i travel alot? i live in oregon) are WOJB in Hayward, WI (on le courte
orielles rez), WERU in Blue Hill, ME, KXCI in Tuscon, AZ, KZFR, Chico, CA,
KZYX in Philo, CA, KAZU in Pacific Grove, CA, KBOO in Portland, OR, KLCC
in Eugene, OR, (Jefferson Public Radio in Ashland, Oregon where I live
is pretty good but they don't play enough acoustic music if you ask me,
the folk show is only once a week but it is GREAT) and the list goes on.
Many public stations these days have an eclictic mix during the day and
will play folk and acoustic stuff mixed with jazz, world and rock. I
personally love all those kinds of music so I like the mixed shows.
Anyway, happy to meet you all and look forward to lively discussion and
making some new friends.

Hi Folks,
Pardon me if this has been brought up before, but does anyone know of a
national house concert directory either on line or analog? I think it would be
a great resource for performers and presenters alike...
I'm considering presenting a series starting this fall/late summer, and
we're both performers and presenters. I know there are at least three
house concert groups in the Seattle city limits (us being one of them)and
if someone has compiled this info already it would be so much better than
taking on a project of that magnitude...
Thanks,
Christopher Bingham

[ Rent-a-mod sez: I don't know of a dedicated, detailed national house concert
directory; it would be a constantly moving target (a/k/a headache!) due to venue
turnover. Even so, I was thinking about organizing one, but it seems better not
to create artificial distinctions between house concerts and other venues such
as coffeehouses. For most purposes they are more alike than different.
My goal at the moment, and I think Alan and the other folk net "cabal" agree
with me, is to rehabilitate the Folk Venue Database into a vital, flexible
resource where house concerts are (a) welcome and (b) searchable as such.
In the meantime, there *is* a list, which I know can't be complete, at this
URL:
http://www.folkmusic.org/shows/houseconcerts.html
You can also search Musi-Cal for house concerts (this URL is split):

Well here's a few things I haven't done in a while:
1 - post to this newsgroup
2 - update MusiCal with current Music Among Friends Coffeehouse listings
3 - update the Music Among Friends Webpage (actually it's a quick update to
list our current schedule. We're currently designing a "real" site.
Well, now I've done all three. I hope you don't mind me using this mail group
to let folks know to go check all that out. The Web site is at
http://www.concentric.net/~reikenh/maf
[ Stuntie sez: No apologies necessary, this is how it's supposed to be done.
The only thing I would add would be a mention of the Musi-Cal (note spelling)
address:
and a link to Musi-Cal from the Music Among Friends web page. That way you
don't need to keep editing the page, just keep Musi-Cal up to date. ]
