Ninety minutes of entertaining folk music.

I’ve assigned the title of this Pastures of Plenty episode to Blossom Dearie, a clear-voiced jazzy singer popular in the 1950s.  She came though with "I Hear Music" recorded in 1957.  You can hear that two-minute tribute to "mighty pretty music" at about 6:30am.  Soon after that is Tracy Grammer’s "The Waking Hour", sort of a secondary theme for the whole program.  Since I record the show at home days ahead of time, I don’t have to worry about getting up on time.  I’ve designed the program to help you wake up - no matter the time, as long as it’s between 5:30 and 7:00 Wednesday morning.

We’ll start the show with Kristen Grainger and True North and end with Viv and Riley (Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno).  There are couple songs from Laurie Lewis, another from Buffalo Rose, a tune from Scotsman Paddy Noonan, and many more from a variety of topics.  Please join me for a Wednesday Morning Wake-Up on The Boo!  Thanks!  Will
