September 26 1774, the day Johnny Appleseed, or John Chapman, was born into a world he would change by planting apple trees. Folk Soup observes Johnny Appleseed Day. Johnny Appleseed journeyed the wilderness of the Western Reserve planting apple seeds into his famed orchards everywhere along his way, through New England, Pennsylvania and Ohio. But what really makes Johnny Appleseed memorable is his kind and generous ways, and the importance he placed on the apples themselves. Johnny Appleseed is the man who made apples an American institution, and is one of the most beloved characters in our American history.  Hear traditional, early American music on hammered duclimer, fiddle and whistle, from Bittersweet And Briers, the Barbaloots, Jayme Stone's Folklife, Sally Rogers, Bob Bellamy And Wendy Barlow, Yankee Celtic Consort, Ladies Godiva, Maddy Prior & The Carnival Band, Matthew Abelson and our featured artists of the hour, Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsen.

Johnny Appleseed, from our featured artists Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsen.

You just heard a lot of traditional early American folk music on hammered dulcimer, fiddle and whistle. The real stuff, 2016 was the 200th anniversary of the1816, “summ-ah that never was”, and, as far as Johnny Appleseed goes, well I guess I have a real soft spot in my heart for him and the Vermont farmer, genuine folk heroes worthy of rememberance in song by great folk artists like Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsun. I grew up on Johnny Appleseed apples from our own orchard growing up in Ohio’s Western Reserve. American history is riddled with more than it’s fair share of scoundrels, but once in a while, figures like Johnny Appleseed and this Vermont potato farmer become legends because they actually had integrity, and cared about others. So enjoy a piece of apple pie, and do something great for someone else today, maybe someone you’ve never met. Happy Johnny Appleseed Day!

This is Folk Soup taking you back in time today to some centuries-old folk songs known as the Child Ballads, of which folklorist Francis J. Child saved for posterity. Child was an American scholar and educator known for his systematic study, collecting, and cataloging of folk ballads, even then centuries old, around 1850. Many of these songs originate from medieval or renaissance periods. All these ballads as they get passed down through generations, can change significantly with new lyrics and melodies. Today you'll hear modern renditions of Child Ballads from the 305 ballads Child collected and catalogued, and now recorded by contemporary folk artists who have composed their own versions in what we call the folk process, from Dick Gaughan, Joan Baez, Anna & Elizabeth, Stark Raven, Old Blind Dogs, Kat Eggleston, Gabriel & The Hounds and Altan.

UPDATE: I've been a busy bee lately. Check out my new lists. 60s, 70s Rock Parts 1 & 2, Rock Operas of 60s & 70s, and Jazz Shedding...also some older playlists have been updated and refined, check 'em out. 

I'm not a club DJ, I assemble playlists for GAMERS (DnD, LARPs, etc) which require a flow that is different than club playlists, with NO talking, no ads, and last 12 to 48 hours non-stop. None of the music here are my originals. Steampunk Giraffe are original music by that band which I support by posting their music here for listening only. If you wish to purchase their music, go to their website: https://steampoweredgiraffe.com/

ok, I've been hounded for a few years now to do playlists for Country and Rap. When it comes to both of those genre's I'm EXTREMELY picky. I'm old school country, meaning much of what is considered country today ISN'T. In the 70s Country Western radio stations added Honky Tonk and Rock-a-Billy to playlists to stay relevant. And if they didn't they were going out of business fffffaaaaast! IMHO that's Country Crossover, but still Country...barely. In the 90s they expanded again to include Southern Rock and Bluegrass Rock. I remember when those stations to refused to play Eagles records because "they're too much Rock. If they replaced electric guitars with slides, we might consider playing them in future." No shit, the largest chain of Country stations owner said that to Billboard in 1972. Then those same asshats sons added them in 1993 after both their fathers died. 2 years after that, they were admitted to the CM Awards and CM Hall of Fame. HYPOCRITES!!! Do your homework kiddies and be careful who you endorse with your hard earned money.

As for Rap, it's a mixed bag of reasons. 1st is I'm a classically trained musician, (violin and operatic voice, rhythm percutionist.) By definition a song is a melody divided into intro+verse+chorus+bridge+ rinse and repeat until closing. Also music is defined as original content played on instruments by musicians (the voice is technically defined as an instrament.) So by definition Rap is organized noise, not music. Don't yell at me, thats what's in every music theory textbook from the beginning of the printed word. So it took a long while for me to overcome that narrow minded brainwashing. It was MTV that opened my mind and musical horizons to Rap as music. And as such turns out I'm pretty picky about it. If it's disrespectful to women, racist, or glamorizes criminals and criminal behavior, I won't have anything to do with it. But it it has something thought provoking or original to say, or unique in perspective, I'm all ears. To give you an example of what I use as a measuring stick, if it doesn't hold up to the standard of Grandmaster Flash, Gorillaz and Digable Planets. If not, then it will be switched or turned off in first 30 seconds or less.
