Fall is in the air

I was chatting with a friend the other day in my favorite coffee shop when someone walked up to my table armed with a chocolate croissant. He placed the pastry in front of me and said some sweet thing about me and The Folk Show and left. My friend Laura was pretty impressed, not just at the nice comment, but at this gentleman’s generosity and of course, the treat we were about to share!
I’m probably one of the luckiest radio hosts in America today because I have the opportunity to produce a music program featuring music I enjoy for the listeners of New Hampshire each week. You may not be able to stop me on the street or touch base in a coffee shop to show your support, but you can let us know you’re there by pledging during our Fall membership drive. Your donation of any amount is a pledge of support for the programming that is part of the character of New Hampshire. You have the opportunity to support live programming which has featured visits from talented artists like the Makem and Spain Brothers, Tim O’Brien, Garnet Rogers, Anais Mitchell, the Four Bitchin’ Babes, Red Molly and local musicians like Wendy Keith, High Range, Late Night Radio, Susie Burke and David Surrette as well as Tamworth's Bill Morrissey. Your donation helps to pay for new technology like this web page and helps us to pay the bills so we can continue to bring you the Folk programming that has become the backdrop for your Sunday evenings. It’s easy. You can pledge here on-line right now, or you can wait until Sunday night and call in when you hear a favorite tune and talk to one of our kind volunteers. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be your host and truly appreciate your support of our programming. Fall is in the air…and with it comes the opportunity to become a member of New Hampshire Public Radio or to renew your membership. Thank you for being here.
