Our annual All-Dylan program to celebrate his 73rd birthday this Saturday. Since Dylan's fourth album, Another Side of Bob Dylan, will see the 50th anniversary of its release this August, we based our program on that album and the recording session for the album, playing tracks from the album as well as recordings from the session that were not included on the released album. We also roamed the extensive Dylan catalogue for other songs and included quite a few cover versions as well.

Today's program featured a musical remembrance of Jesse Winchester, who passed away on Friday, April 11th. Also, Rod Picott, an outstanding singer-songwriter paid a visit to Sunday Street before playing a terrific show at The University Cafe, with WUSB's Mary Lamont opening.

Today's program featured a conversation with singer/songwriter Richard Shindell.

An in-studio visit from Russ Seeger and Tom Ryan of The Last Hombres and Pete Mancini of Butchers Blind was part of today's program.

An in-studio visit from Poor Old Shine was part of today's program

New music from Don Bikoff, The Last Hombres, Joy Kills Sorrow and Iain Matthews, as well as a studio visit from Pesky J. Nixon, were featured on today's program.

Lots of new releases on today's program along with a visit from Bill Herman of Paradiddle Records to announce a benefit concert at The University Cafe on Saturday, April 5th at 8 P.M. "Keep Me In Your Heart: A Long Island Musicians' Tribute to Warren Zevon" will feature a host of area musicians sharing interpretations of well-known and lesser-known Zevon songs. Information at www.universitycafe.org

The concert will benefit WUSB-FM and help with the expenses associated with repairing our damaged transmitter. Recent storms have had their impact on the transmitter and as a consequence, our signal has been reduced dramatically. It is unlikely the University will assist us with this cost so we need to raise these funds by ourselves. Hopefully, our listeners will come to our rescue.

Today's program featured songs associated with Pete Seeger. We also played new music from Matt Anderson and Dr.Dog, and a previously-unreleased track from Tom Russell.

Today's program featured some segments from an in-studio visit from James Maddock on 3-11-12

An in-studio performance and conversation with Butchers Blind, a Long Island - based band, was part of today's program. We also highlighted new releases from Rosanne Cash, Fred Eaglesmith and Roosevelt Dime, and in music marked tomorrow's national observance of the life and work of Martin Luther King Jr.
