WVBR'S BOUND FOR GLORY'S 41st YEAR CONTINUES, LATE FALL 2007

Phil Shapiro, host of WVBR's Bound for Glory since its inception in
1967, announces the Late Fall 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. 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, through the Friends of Bound for Glory, by looking up
http://wvbr.com on the Web. Everyone can listen to Bound for Glory on
line. The website tells you how.

OCT. 14 DAKOTA DAVE HULL. We're really pleased to welcome back one
of the most tasteful guitarists you've ever heard. Dakota Dave has been
incredibly influential in guitar circles for many years. He's not the
flashiest guitarist, but he's one of the best, because he knows exactly
what notes NOT to play. A charming, good humored performer.

OCT. 21 CHRISTINE LAVIN. It's Christine Lavin's second Bound for
Glory visit, but the first one was a long, long time ago. She's
incredibly funny, with her own brand of slightly twisted humor that's
made her a major act in the folk world. But she's also got a serious
side. What a wonderful show, always full of surprises.

OCT. 28 APRIL VERCH AND HER BAND. April Verch is an impressively hot
fiddler from Ontario's Ottawa Valley, and a fine singer as well. The
music has both a traditional and a bluegrass flavor, and the hot licks
just don't stop. Surely she'll do some step dancing, and we'll mike the
stage so the radio audience can pick up all the magic and sparkle.
Welcome her back to Bound for Glory.

NOV. 4 THE CHICKEN CHOKERS. Old Timey music at its finest. The
Chicken Chokers have gotten back together after 20 years, and they're
coming back to Bound for Glory. Unvarnished, primitive American music.
Incredible energy, raw, powerful, great fun. Don't miss this show.

NOV. 11 BEAUCOUP BLUE. A Bound for Glory debut from a father/son duo
from Philadelphia. They play the acoustic blues, with a bit of jazzy
flavor, great energy and style, and respect for the blues tradition.
Beaucoup Blue is making quite a splash in the world of folk music, and
we're really pleased to welcome them.

NOV. 18 EVE GOLDBERG. Third time around for Eve Goldberg, in from
Toronto. She's a folk singer, and a singer songwriter. Her music
sounds like down home mountain music except when it sounds like jazzy
city music, except when it's sweet, except when it's strong. She has an
understated style that will sneak up on you. Great stuff.

NOV. 25 Albums from the studios. Cornell is on break, and The Cafe
at Anabel Taylor is closed, so Phil will be playing folk CD's and LP's
from the WVBR studios. Give a call at 607-273-2121.

DEC. 2 CLIFF EBERHARDT. We'll end our 41st fall season in fine style
with an amazing performer. Cliff Eberhardt is a very funny man, though
a lot of his songs are serious. He writes his own, contemporary folk,
bluesy, jazzy. What's between the songs is something else entirely. A
great end to a super season.

From DECEMBER 9 through JANUARY 13, Bound for Glory will be Albums from
the Studios. Catch the Winter Solstice show on DECEMBER 16, the
Holiday special show on DECEMBER 23, and the New Year's special on
DECEMBER 30. Holiday songs you won't hear in the shopping malls. Give
Phil a call at 607-273-2121. Next Live Bound for Glory? JANUARY 20,
2008, with BILL STAINES.
