WVBR'S BOUND FOR GLORY, 41st YEAR, WINTER 2008

Phil Shapiro, host of WVBR's Bound for Glory since its inception in
1967, announces the Winter schedule, continuing the 41st year of this
Central New York musical tradition.

WVBR's Bound for Glory, North America's longest running live folk
concert broadcast, broadcasts live from the Cafe at Anabel Taylor Hall
at Cornell on Sunday nights. Bound for Glory brings central New York
another series of free folk concerts, on WVBR-FM, 93.5 and 105.5, and
streaming on line at http://wvbr.com . We promise some excellent
acoustic music, presented by long-time host Phil Shapiro.

The show runs Sunday nights from 8 to 11, with live sets at 8:30, 9:30,
and 10:30. All three sets are different. Come to as many sets as you
wish. Admission in the live audience at Anabel Taylor is free and is
open to everyone in the area. Kids are always welcome. Refreshments are
available. For further information, call Phil Shapiro at 607-844-4535,
or e-mail pd...@cornell.edu.

help by joining the Friends of Bound for Glory. Look up http://wvbr.com

JAN. 20 BILL STAINES. Can't think of a better way to start Bound for
Glory's 41st Winter season. Bill Staines is one of America's finest,
and best known, folk singer-songwriters, an inspiring, magical performer
whose songs have been sung by untold numbers of people, many of whom
have no idea who wrote them. Come sing on the choruses. This past
Fall, Bill won the Best of Bound for Glory award. He comes to us from
New Hampshire.

JAN. 27 TRAONACH. Join us for a fine session with Ithaca's wonderful
Celtic band. Traonach is as good as they come, with lively dance tunes
and traditional Irish songs as well. It'll be hard to keep your toes
from tapping. Welcome them back to Bound for Glory.

FEB. 3 STEVE GILLETTE AND CINDY MANGSEN. It's been way too long.
It's time for a return visit from this marvelous, good humored folk duo,
in from Vermont. Some of the songs are traditional, some are homemade.
Their performances just sparkle. Surely there'll be some good
choruses to sing along on.

FEB. 10 THE POWDER KEGS. The Powder Kegs are a young, exciting Old
Timey string band from the Hudson Valley, playing the songs and tunes of
the Southern mountains, plus a lot of music that string bands seldom
touch. Don't be surprised to hear a Leadbelly song, or Woody Guthrie.
The Powder Kegs will leave you with a big grin.

FEB. 17 MUSTARD'S RETREAT. Mustard's Retreat are old friends by now.
They're past winners of the Best of Bound for Glory award, a couple of
guys from Michigan who always turn the Cafe at Anabel Taylor into their
living room, and invite you all in to share some songs, old and new.
Plus, they're wonderful storytellers. A truly fine show.

FEB. 24 FOUR SHILLINGS SHORT. It's been too many years. Four
Shillings Short is a delightful, extremely quirky neo-Celtic folk duo.
He's from Ireland, she's from California. They play an incredible
variety of instruments, including, yes, the sitar. Let's make them glad
they came back to Bound for Glory.

MAR. 2 HOWIE BURSEN AND FRIENDS. Back in 1967, Howie Bursen was one
of the very first performers on Bound for Glory. He's still making
wonderful music, traditionally flavored folk on banjo and guitar. He's a
great singer and yarn spinner. Let's see who he brings with him this
time. From Connecticut.

MAR. 9 SMALL POTATOES. Small Potatoes is another past winner of the
Best of Bound for Glory award, a highly eclectic, wildly whacky
contemporary duo from Illinois. Small Potatoes comes complete with a
highly infectious smile that everyone can share. Their most recent CD
was recorded live on Bound for Glory. There's good reason for that.

On MARCH 16 and 23, Bound for Glory will be Albums from the Studios.
Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121. Next Live Bound for Glory? MARCH 30.
This Spring we'll be welcoming COSY SHERIDAN WITH T.R. RITCHIE, JACK
WILLIAMS, and other fine musicians.
