Hi there… Tom Rhoads here from 333 Coffeehouse in Annapolis. I’m hoping that you’d be willing to list our monthly folk/acoustic shows in your concert calendar(s). Please let me know how to reach you. 333 is a program of the Annapolis Traditional Dance Society, a local nonprofit which also produces the monthly Annapolis contra dance. (FSGW hosts our website, but we’re not a part of them.)

To have your events listed in the Detour concert calendar, simply email them to me at paul@detourradio.com. Best to do it at least 2 weeks before the event, although earlier is never bad! Venues can send an entire list, rather than one event at a time.
You can also post events on the WTMD events calendar. Additional eyeballs may see it there.

A bright broadcast\netcast in dark times! Thanks for celebrating Yennayer, Berber New Year by playing Thalweg, Hocine Boukella aka whacky Cheikh Sidi (that’s Seedy a la Algeria’s Amazigh Tom Waits) Bemol’s Berbero-Celtic band and the rousing “Toughach Ajejig”! Assegwas Ammegaz or Healthy & Balanced New Year 2964 to the Amazigh\Berber Diaspora and back home in Tamazgha!
Also loved hearing local Baltimore treasure Midway Fair’s “Fairest of Them All.” Found the YouTube clip of Midway Fair as a duo another cool find thanks to DETOUR. MF: Tour in 2014! Spread the Fair!
Keep on doin’ & thawin’ out

Thank you for attributing the live version sang on the show of “Freight Train,” to Libba Cotton today. As a singer of traditional songs, it’s always good to hear people recognize where the music they sing comes from (or at least try to). Please announce the BFMS Spring Faire to be held on the 27th with lots of live roots music, jamming on old-time instruments, contra and square dancing, family events, main stage and lots of participatory workshops. Free! Cromwell Valley Park. The real deal.

Hey Paul! It’s Rae Ann, how are you doing?! So, I read about you and your efforts in The Towson Times regarding Rogers Forge’s problems with our educated young people. Well Done! You’re a big shot in the neighborhood, keeping the peace. Good man!
Rogers Forge was my first Baltimore home and it meant a great deal to an inner city Washingtonian like me. I was very happy there.
So, I not only hear you on the radio I read about you in print. You’re a media darling!!
Know I’m listening, Paul, and reading!
