WVBR'S BOUND FOR GLORY, 42nd YEAR, SPRING 2009

Phil Shapiro, host of WVBR's Bound for Glory since its inception in
1967, announces the Spring schedule, continuing the 42nd 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.

MAR. 29 GARNET ROGERS. Garnet Rogers, in from Ontario, is, plain and
simply, one of the best performers on the folk scene today. He's a fine
songwriter, a magnificent singer, and an extraordinarily imaginative
guitarist. He's a great yarn spinner and a very funny man. And a past
winner of the Best of Bound for Glory award.

APR. 5 DANA AND SUSAN ROBINSON. Dana and Susan start with the American
folk tradition and see where it takes them. Old songs and new, good
humor, new songs that really get to the heart of every subject. Old
tunes that make your feet tap. A quirky and delightful evening from
Bound for Glory favorites.

APR. 12 The DIAMONDBACK RATTLERS. Bluegrass with many a twist.
This most excellent bluegrass band can sail right into a bluegrass
standard or a breakdown, but they also turn bluegrass inside out with
great good humor, and songs that you'd never expect. An evening of
stories and smiles all 'round. Welcome them back.

APR. 19 DENNIS STROUGHMATT AND ESPRIT CREOLE. The music of Upper
Louisiana. That's right, the music of the French settlements of
Missouri and the Illinois country, sung in French. Music most of us
didn't know existed. Dennis Stroughmatt is a superb fiddler, with an
excellent band. A show that's clearly different from any other.

APR. 26 JACK WILLIAMS. Jack Williams has appeared on Bound for Glory
just once before, almost exactly a year ago. And he immediately won the
Best of Bound for Glory award. This bluesy singer- songwriter is a
knockout guitarist and singer. He comes to us from Arkansas.

MAY 3 DAVID FRANCEY. Welcome back this Scotsman, living in Canada.
David Francey is a singer-songwriter whose music is deeply rooted in the
folk tradition. He tells stories in his songs, Canadian stories,
American stories, very human stories. And sometimes he's incredibly
funny. A delight. And a wonderful way to end a wonderful Spring.

From May 10 through June 14, Bound for Glory will be Albums from the
Studios. Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121. Next Live Bound for Glory
folk concert broadcast? June 21. There are six live Bound for Glory
shows in the summer. We will welcome, among others, ERIC TAYLOR and
JENI AND BILLY.
