The Boudin Barndance blog full of loads of useless info & opinion remains stalled. It’s at www.wriu.org/boudinbarndance/boudinblog.php?blogid=41.
This last Boudin Barndance before Xmas featured a mish-mosh of songs of the season to close the show. We packed the studio with loads of revelers enjoying the festivities. Prior to all that, it was a mixed bag of stuff. Part of that was featuring a set of music from Alejandro Escovedo who plays at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, MA next Thursday (Dec. 27). Check out www.ncfta.org. Despite it being a quiet time for new releases, we managed to feature a couple of first timers, the latest from local heroes The ‘mercians and Vol. 4 of the Old Town School of Folk Music Song Book series. Buttshaker of the night????? Staying in the yuletide spirit, The Kustard Kings grab the whole enchilada with “A Kustard Christmas”. Now let’s all grab a cold one and get to the goods…
