Hi Everyone-Following an exciting Folk Alliance International conference in New Orleans, I'm sitting in the Baltimore Airport, and I figured that, since my flights were cancelled prior to today due to weather, and now my actual flight home to Albany was delayed (leaving at 9:55 pm instead of 8), I'd get this playlist from last Saturday.

So many stories from New Orleans, not the least of which is that I left my cell phone in the Lyft vehicle on my way into the Sheraton and haven't had a phone for more than a week...But I digress...

Sue Kessell, Jenny Inzerelli, Marilyn Rae Beyer and I had a lovely session on the future of folk radio, and we had a productive folk radio peer group session. Wish you had all been there!
