In still yet another note of sadness, the first half of this program is dedicated to this past week's passing of multi-instrumentalist John McGann, longtime faculty member of the Berklee College of Music and a guitar/mandolin wizard whose playing graced oh so many albums including his own 1995 solo effort on Green Linnet, and the passing of Barney McKenna, an original member of the internationally-famed Dubliners, one of the early successes and motivating forces of the Irish folk music revival in the 1960s.
The second half was a “mini-concert” by just a handful of performers who will be gracing stages in our broadcast area during the next few days.
