Playlist on its way...
Hey All,
April 1st was the much talked about dog show...if you tuned in, you know I had an awfully darn good co-host, Matt Carlson. At any rate, the playlist seems to have disappeared. I'm pretty sure I'll track it down soon.
As always, thanks for listening to KMSU and Listen to Your Folks.

Hi All,
As some of you may have noticed, KMSU was not on the air for this morning's show. We've been off a couple days now for weather-related reasons. We should be back on the air very soon. Thanks for your continued support of the station and the show.
Here's the official word from our station manager, Jim Gullickson,

Here's the official word from our station manager, Jim Gullickson,
KSMU is off the air.
February 2, 2007
Ice storms are very bad for power lines, tree limbs and radio stations. It appears there is a substantial layer of ice on the KMSU antenna elements, causing something called "reflected power". It is just what it sounds like... power output from the transmitter is reflected back to the source, and it can cause irreparable damage. Very low amounts of reflected power are normal, perhaps one or two percent. We were seeing eighty to ninety percent relected power on our wattmeter, and decided then and there to shut down the system to avoid permanently damaging all of our equipment. I realize that being off the air is not acceptable in nearly any circumstance. This scenario, however, demands that we protect our equipment. Now we wait for the sun to do its work and melt the ice off the antenna elements. I expect we will be back on the air by no later than Saturday afternoon.
Thank you for your support, and for your patience.
Sincerely,
Jim Gullickson
General Manager

Hey All,
This week's show was a repeat (an "encore presentation" as the big shots call it)...if you heard anything you want to know more about, send me an email at listentoyourfolks@hotmail.com I'll do my best to find the old playlist if it exists.
I didn't get to a new show last week because I was down at Duke University's Center for Documentary Studies. This place is awfully darn good...folks from all walks of life take courses down there. If you've ever been interested in making some radio, check them out. Don't let the Duke name scare ya...I'm certain I could never have gotten into Duke, but they're more than willing to teach me how to make radio.
I'll be back next week with some good new stuff...
Dave

January 7th, 2007
Hey All,
Well, 2007 has arrived. Happy new year to all... I meant to post the playlist for the Christmas show, but the holidays got the better of me.
A few non-music topics were mentioned on today's show...
The Anchor Bar in Superior Wisconsin is a wonderful place. Great burgers and an atmosphere in which a guy could write a pretty good folk song. Here's a well written description of the place and here's a Minnesota Public Radio story about the bar and the town (scroll down a few stories and you'll find the story) .
I also mentioned Cheri Register's book Packinghouse Daughter--a great read, especially if you have ties to the Albert Lea/Austin Area (although I don't and still loved the book).
A version of the first chapter of Packinghouse Daughter was orginally published as an essay titled Workshirt Manifesto.
OK...the playlist for January 7th...
1) Vince Gill; Some Things Never Get Old; These Days
2) Guy Clark; Analog Girl; Workbench Songs
3) Stacey Earl and Mark Stuart; Up in Annie's Room; S & M Communion Bread
4) Rodney Crowell; Still Learning How to Fly; Fate's Right Hand
5) Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash; Girl From the North Country; Nashville Sklyine
6) The Flying Burrito Brothers; To Love Somebody; The Gram Parsons Anthology
7) EmmyLou Harris and Friends; The Pilgrim; The Pilgrim: A Celebration of Krist Kristofferson
8) Vince Gill; All Prayed Up; These Days
9) Son Volt; Bandages and Scars; Okemah and the Melody of Riot
10) Los Lobos; Little Things; The Town and the City
11) Vince Gill with Phil Everly; Sweet Little Corrina; These Days
12) Rosanne Cash; The Way We Make a Broken Heart; King's Record Shop
13) John Hiatt; Ain't Ever Goin' Back; Master of Disaster
14) Wayne Hancock; Shooting Star from Texas; Blooshot Records Sampler

The Holidays...
Hey Folks,
I'm on the road for the holidays...I'll update the blog when I return in early January. The New Years Eve show is a repeat from, I believe, June 4th of 2006.
Happy Holidays to all,
Dave

Hi All,
I seem to have lost the darn playlist, but I think it went about like this...
1) Loudon Wainwright III; The Picture; History
2) Warren Zevon; Dirty Life and Times; The Wind
3) Rodney Crowell; Beautiful Despair; The Outsider
4) Richard Thompson; From Galway to Graceland; Watching the Dark
5) Guy Clark; Magdalene; Workbench Songs
6) Guy Clark; Funny Bone; Workbench Songs
7) Alejandro Escovedo; Five Hearts Breaking; Gravity
8) Alejandro Escovedo; Broken Bottle; Gravity
9) Woody Guthrie; Hobo's Lullaby; This Land is Your Land (Ash Recordings Vol. 1)
10) Cisco Houston; Dark as a Dungeon; The Roots of Bob Dylan (cd from Mojo Magazine)
11) The New Lost City Ramblers; No Depression in Heaven; The Early Years (1958-1962)
12) Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion; Holdin' Back; Exploration
13) John Prine; Long Monday; Fair and Square
14) Steve Goodman; Old Smoothies; Live Wire
15) Lyle Lovett; Closing Time; Lyle Lovett
A couple other things...
**Next week's show will be played on Christmas Eve at its usual time and at some point on Christmas Day. It has become something of an annual tradition to play a good deal of stuff from John Prine's Christmas release...although much of the cd has little to do with Christmas.
**The good folks at Shuffle Function got me interested in Daniel Johnston; the film about his life, The Devil and Daniel Johnston, is really worth a look.
