4:00 p.m.  Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Dan Fogelberg FINAL AIRING!

Dan Fogelberg gets his final airing as our featured singer-songwriter for the week, but his music is in our standard rotation and you’ll hear him frequently here. A new artist will be introduced on Monday!

8:00 p.m.  Bob Dylan Live at The First Brandeis Folk Festival, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, May 10, 1963 NEW!

It is said that this was Bob Dylan’s final show before stardom; happening two weeks before the release of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. Dylan (21 years old at the time) performed two seven-song sets on that day, and they were recorded. The tapes sat for half a century in the basement of Rolling Stone co-founder Ralph Gleason. Yes, it’s just seven songs, but it’s musical history in the making.

Join us today. I don’t mind telling you that, not only are we missing our winters here, but this year it has been like moving to London. It’s yet another unseasonably warm, cloudy dreary day. But it seems like, on the horizon, we have some sun coming for an extended period. Just. No. Snow. And that ain’t right in these parts.
