It was a catch up day this week on the show, playing several new CD's that just had not made it on the show recently along with a couple of new favorites like Mark David Manders and his tune "April's Fool", which is a great new twist on the murder ballad, and Iris Dement's latest "If That Ain't Love". Shoebox Letters had planned to stop by for a couple of tunes but the "day job" kept them from making the trip down this week. I decided to honor their efforts by playing a set of their tunes anyway.

The final show of the Wayne Drury Project concluded last night with a packed house at the WOW Hall here in Eugene. Who knows where it will go from here, but all of us involved the project felt like it was a total success. To resurrect some old unknown songs from 40 years ago and give them a new life by passing them on to a new generation of musicians is truly what folk music is all about. My hope is that when I see some of these musicians playing next time that they include a Drury song in their set as a way of keeping these songs alive. You can be sure that I will continue to play them on the radio.

 Cascade Rye stopped by the KRVM studio this week to promote their new self titled CD. Although this is the first CD for Cascade Rye, the members have been around for several years having been performing as Jake Payne and Dixie Creek. With the addition of Kalyn Payne to the band and her help with the song writing, Cascade Rye's tunes reflect a life of being together as a couple compared to some of Jake's earlier tunes. Another example of how music is the story of the human condition and the lives we all lead.

If you are from the local KRVM listening area, I encourage you to get out and see some of the great live music coming here this month. Last night I saw the first of two performances of the "Wayne Drury Project". It was a very inspiring evening culminating with Drury himself singing a few of his songs with his old band "Jackdaw" for the first time in fourty years. The second and final show of the project will be at the WOW Hall this next Saturday. Since this is not a regular touring band, this is a once in a lifetime show that should not be missed.

A lot of new CD's in the mix today including my six picks for this month's FAR Chart (*).

I had some of the local members of the Wayne Drury Project into the studio to perform a couple of Druy's songs. Drury was a prolific songwriter here in the Eugene area during the late '60s and early '70s and was the front man for the band Jackdaw. Drury wrote so many songs that some were preformed only a couple of times before being lost, while others have carried on and been preserved. By the late '70s Drury's battle with MS made playing and singing too difficult for him to carry on. Last year after 40 years, former band mate and London resident, Rob Anderson collaborated with Wizz Jones to stage several shows in London featuring the lost songs of Wayne Drury. The shows were such a success that Anderson and Randy Crawford (also a member of Jackdaw) are both returning to Eugene to preform with the group of local musicians that have joined together with the goal of bringing Drury's music to the forefront once again.
 As a friend of Anderson's, local musician Greg Volstead has been leading the effort to form the local group of musicians. Volstead says that the project for him is more than to just  bring back Drury's songs for those familiar with Drury back in the day, but introducing them to a new generation of musicians, a passing along of the music in the folk tradition. Local members of the group come from several local bands including The Whiskey Chasers, Tara Stonecipher and The Tall Grass, Stagger and Sway, and The Whopner County Country Allstars.
Look for dates of the two up-coming local performances of The Wayne Drury Project in the concert calendar.

Thanks for all of the support during our recent fundraiser. We even exceeded our goal!!!

Time to stretch out with a few long tunes and some friends to play live in the studio again. This week it was Barefoot Leroy who stopped by and played for us this week. They sounded great doing a couple of covers(one penned by Gram Parsons) and an original tune called "Goodbye Sleepy Town". They are working on putting a CD together which will hopefully be out in the spring. Their "Housebroken Tour" has them playing around the area over the next several weeks. Check out the dates on our concert calendar.

Next week we will have The Wayne Drury Project into the studio for some music and conversation.

We were finishing up our Fall Membership Drive at KRVM. Thank you to all who have pledged their support to KRVM and especially the support for Routes & Branches. If you want to contribute to KRVM, please go to our web site: http://www.krvm.org/
I received Pete Seeger and Lorre Wyatt's new CD this week and found several songs that I liked and a couple that I felt really fit a pledge drive show like the tunes which started and end my show this week. From my childhood days to today Pete Seeger inspires me to be a better person and steward of this planet that we live on each and every day.
