WTF:What the Folk. Gifts and Giving on Friday the 13th.
Hello all you folkies! Bet you are ready for a folk fix after nearly two months of being WTF: What the Folk deprived!
Well get ready for this Friday, the 13th as we ring in the new year with the theme Gifts and Giving. Maybe you have a song or story about gifts or giving or a mention of the word gifts, giving or presents, or perhaps you can give the gift of a new song or story just learned or created. Maybe you have a story or song about this past Holiday season? Or you can just do a Don Burke and play a song that doesn't fit the theme!
Whether you are a performer or listener, we'd sure like to see you on:
Friday, January 13
