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

Phil Shapiro, host of WVBR's Bound for Glory since its inception in
1967, announces the Winter 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.

Find out about upcoming Bound for Glory shows, and about how you can
help, by joining the Friends of Bound for Glory. Look up

JAN. 18 KEN KOLODNER AND FRIENDS. Ken Kolodner is one of America's
very best hammered dulcimer players and a fine fiddler as well. He
makes his Bound for Glory debut, bringing along some fine musicians,
some of whom you may know. We'll have old timey tunes, beautiful
waltzes, French Canadian tunes, and a whole lot more. Fun. Coming up
from Baltimore.

JAN. 25 CLAUDIA SCHMIDT. For many years Claudia Schmidt was a
mainstay of America's singer-songwriter scene, a fine performer who
makes a wonderful connection with her audiences. Then she retired, for
about ten years, back to Michigan. Well, she came back on the circuit.
Hooray. Let's make her very welcome.

FEB. 1 JAMES GORDON. Please welcome back James Gordon to the Bound
for Glory stage. Coming to us from Guelph, Ontario, James is one of
Canada's best exports, a fine writer who can be intense and poignant one
moment, and the next moment incredibly funny. Many remember him from
the band Tamarack.

FEB. 8 LONG JOHN AND THE TIGHTS. Old Timey mountain music at its
best, music to get your toes tapping. Most of the members of Long John
and the Tights are familiar to Bound for Glory audiences, because they
live around Ithaca, but this is actually the first time that this
particular band has played the show. Traditional music to warm up a
Winter's night.

FEB. 15 MUSTARD'S RETREAT. Mustard's Retreat? I guess by now
they're old friends of Bound for Glory. They're past winners of the
Best of Bound for Glory award. A Mustard's Retreat show is living room
music that's up on stage, and it feels really good. Contemporary folk,
good humor, and some real sparkle. In from Michigan.

FEB. 22 JIM GAUDET AND THE RAILROAD BOYS. It's been many years since
Jim Gaudet appeared on Bound for Glory. He's an Albany based singer
songwriter who writes songs with interesting twists and turns. This
time he's got an excellent band with him. The Railroad Boys are at the
intersection of folk and bluegrass, and they're good.

MAR. 1 BOB WHITE AND KEVIN MAUL. This will be one of the most
unusual shows of the year. Bob White is a traditionally oriented
folksinger who was very influential back about thirty years ago... which
was the last time he appeared on Bound for Glory. Kevin Maul is a hot
dobro player, most famous for playing with Robin and Linda Williams.
Let's see what happens when they get together.

MAR. 8 T.B.A. We'll let you know.

On MARCH 15 and 22, Bound for Glory will be Albums from the Studios.
Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121. Next Live Bound for Glory? MARCH 29.
This Spring we'll be welcoming GARNET ROGERS, DANA AND SUSAN ROBINSON,
JOHN WORT HANNAM, DENNIS STROUGHMATT AND CREOLE STOMP, JACK WILLIAMS.
