PLAYLIST: Roots & Wings
JULY 24, 2000
WESS, 90.3 FM

Had a studio visit today with Holly Avila, the latest member of Juggernaut (following Maxwell Donkor, our Ghanian drummer friend). She sang some songs, read some of her own poetry (I played the standard station disclaimer, we giggled off-mike), generally had a good time. They'll all be down at Philly, playing on the main stage on Friday afternoon, doing various workshops during the weekend. She's very excited -- this is the big time for Holly, after years of gigging around as a street musician, and she's looking forward to Philly. Matter of fact, so am I, even tho I haven't yet seen the performer list. It's Philly, what can I say? My grandmother, basically, where I cut my teeth on folk music festivals, working for Stretch Pyott's "Community Relations" committee, getting the local selectman to park cars -- where Jamie & I first put together The Folk Life -- old stories, more to come, I hope. Ah well.
