WVBR'S BOUND FOR GLORY STARTS ITS 41st YEAR, FALL 2007

Phil Shapiro, host of WVBR's Bound for Glory since its inception in
1967, announces the Fall schedule, the start of 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 Cul de Snack, 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

line. The website tells you how.

AUG. 26 MAGPIE. Welcome back this marvelous duo from the DC area.
Greg Artzner and Terry Leonino own the tightest harmonies. They are
sturdy social commentators, they sing songs with great choruses, and
they are an important force in North America's folk scene today. A
wonderful start to our new season. Don't miss them.

SEPT. 2 JEFF WARNER. Jeff Warner is a traditional singer
extraordinaire. Many of his songs were collected 50 or 60 years ago by
his parents, Frank and Anne Warner, and he has set out to keep the old
songs alive. A charming and lively performer, coming back to Bound for
Glory for the third time, from New Hampshire.

SEPT. 9 ELLIS PAUL. If you list the very top contemporary acoustic
singer-songwriters in North America today, Ellis Paul will be on your
list. He's a riveting performer, a fine poet, a communicator of magic.
It's been too many years. He comes to us these days from Virginia.
Be a part of this show.

SEPT. 16 GARNET ROGERS. Garnet Rogers is one of Canada's finest folk
writers and performers. He's a past winner of the Best of Bound for
Glory award, a painter of musical pictures, some full of smiles, some
dark and thought provoking. Garnet Rogers tours the continent, and
we're honored to have him back on the show.

SEPT. 23 MARK RUST. If ever Ithaca has taken a performer to heart,
it's Mark Rust. Even though he moved away a long time ago, we're still
delighted to hear his songs and his delightful, slightly twisted
stories. A Mark Rust concert comes complete with a guaranteed smile.
See you there.

SEPT. 30 MATT AND SHANNON HEATON. Tunes and songs old and new, with
a strong Celtic flavor, flute, guitar, excellent vocals as well.
Welcome back this charming duo, who really know how to get to the heart
of a song or a tune. Excellent performers.

On OCTOBER 7,Bound for Glory will be Albums from the Studios, as Cornell
takes Fall Break, and Cul de Snack, the Cafe at Anabel Taylor, is
closed. Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121. There will be seven more
live shows in the late Fall, starting OCTOBER 14. The tentative
schedule looks excellent. Details to follow.
