I am a long time fan of US Folk Music. It is much more than just recreations of Child Ballads. Today it is also very far from mainstream pop music.

On Saturday night at 22:00 (10 pm) Eastern Time (Sunday @ 03:00 GMT) on WNYC-AM (820) in New York City is a show called "Folksong Festival." On the air for over 60 years with the same host (Oscar Brand) the show is available over the Internet at www.wnyc.org

I try to listen every week and have set a recorder on the computer for the weeks I miss.

If you like US folk music, give it a listen.
