Comment on Folk and World Music Community Organizes to Save Renowned BBC Radio Scotland Global Gathering Show by duncan stewart

too many food and cookery shows on tv, cut a couple of them instead and leave us with some decent music shows on radio and tv, I’m sure it could be done.

Comment on World Music and Roots Music Winners at 54th Annual Grammy Awards by Joshua Cheek

Warm congratulations to all the winners – however, given that NARAS had previously eliminated more than 30 categories, including telescoping Traditional World Music and Contemporary World Music, in addition to slashing several Roots and indigenous musical categories – this is at best a patronizing “pat on the head!” Obviously, there is little respect for and understanding of the artistry, integrity and stylistic distinctiveness of the myriad flavors of World and Roots music. There ought to be a better place for the many brilliant artists who create World and Roots music to be recognized and honored!

Thank you for your article on one of our great talents that has left us. it seems that our local radio stations have forgotten to pay tribute to such a talent. I had to listen to La Zeta from Puerto Rico as they dedicated the entire morning show to pay tribute to not only a son from blood but also a son of born and raised of New York. Once again I see why I don’t bother listening to local radio stations. Thank you for your article of a man that I consider a big brother as he took me to my very first concert when I was about 9years old. Thanks “Mo” I’ll forevr remeber that.
