Each week I submit my playlists to a list serve for folk-djs. Its administrators tabulate the entries from about 100 folk dj's across the country to identify the top new music plays for each month. Here's my summary which includes the record label and date of release along with links for you to listen on You Tube to selected tracks. December has not been tabulated yet. Stay tuned!!
