It’s pledge time again at WSHU Public Radio Group and this “Profiles in Folk” was devoted to seeking contributions from listeners to support our stations at a time when there is simply less and less folk music on the airwaves, especially in Connecticut despite a thriving folk and acoustic club scene. Special thanks to WSHU Chief Engineer Paul Litwinovich who helped pitch the message, his wife Ellen who answered phones and longtime loyal listener Francis Braunlich of Hamden who offered a substantial challenge grant to encourage listeners to contribute.
Many of the night’s diverse musical selections were from a marvelous new compilation disc from Red House Records that was also being offered as a “thank you” gift for contributors. We also spotlighted some live performances in WSHU’s Studio A from past “Profiles in Folk”.
Our heartfelt thanks are extended to all who made pledges during the night.
