Playlist for 4/12/10 Black Diamond Show (WNHU, West Haven, CT, 88.7 FM & www.wnhu.net)

I kept saying that this song was great, this one is one of my favorites, this one's terrific--if I do say so myself, if you missed this week's show, you missed a good one! Blue Moon Rising's "Freight Train" and Lonesome River Band's "(Dancing to the) Tune of a $20 bill" are two of my new favorite bluegrass songs. Pete Seeger's singing the old lullaby "Leatherwing Bat" with Bruce Molsky and Tony Trischka sent shivers down my neck. (My son would say that wouldn't happen if I'd turn the heat up!) And I love French Carpenter telling the story of the fiddle contest at Camp Chase before he plays the tune.

Heard from listeners in Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Italy today! Cool--although the traveler in Italy didn't get a chance to hear it on her hotel's network.

As always, thanks for your support!
