Playlists: Womenfolk (Apr. 5 & 12, Mar. 29)

So I know it seems like I've been like a slacker, and while that's true in regards to posting stuff here at Sound of Blackbirds, I've been pretty busy everywhere else--playing gigs in and out of town, hosting several house guests, training for a marathon and preparing for my big CD release show.

We're also in the middle of KFAI's Spring Pledge Drive, which means all us DJ's are keeping pretty odd hours. I guested on Pam Hill's morning show this Tuesday, which was, as always, a blast--playing our favorite Richards (Shindell and Thompson). This Sunday on my show, I was joined by fellow KFAI DJ's Pam K (yes, different from Pam Hill!) and Liz Olds!  In addition to playing lots of listener requests and new releases, we talked with Lucy Kaplansky about her show this Friday at the Cedar Cultural Center...If you missed the interview, you can hear the archived show.

In addition to listening to the show any time, you can also pledge to Womenfolk any time by clicking here.  As a special thank-you, I will be sending folks who give at any level a sampler from Red House Records' 25th anniversary box set--an exclusive only available to Womenfolk pledgers!

Thanks for your support of women's music!
