Steeleye Span station

I've been listening to the Steeleye Span station on LastFM.  I've enjoyed some songs by Fotheringay and by the Silly Sisters, and I heard a very interesting song called The Minotaur's Song by The Incredible String Band.

Some nice older songs

A lot of the music WUMB plays is more modern than my tastes, but today they have played some nice older songs:

The Song Will Remain by Steeleye Span
Peace Will Come by Tom Paxton

Rainbow by the Wood Brothers

I heard an interesting song.  When I search for the lyrics, I found them at http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/the+wood+brothers/rainbow_20914454.html.  It says there that the song is Rainbow by the Wood Brothers.

Some musicians I'd like to hear more of

I've always liked the song Wayfaring Stranger.   I recently heard a really nice version by Anonymous 4.  I should listen to more Anonymous 4.

I also want to listen to more music like Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention.

Mostly Folk Playlist, March 4, 2012

Today's Mostly Folk show was abbreviated due to hockey. Hockey started partway through the last song, so I'll play that song again on a future show so you can hear the whole thing.
