Wandering Willie

KBOO is open to the public! To visit the station, contact your staff person or call 503-231-8032.


Hosted by: 
Will Selzer
Produced by: 
KBOO
Program:: 
Pastures of Plenty
Air date: 
Wed, 06/12/2024 - 5:30am to 7:00am
Ninety minutes of folk style music to entertain you.

In a rare tip of my cap, this program opens with two songs featuring  Wand’rin Willie and Willy the Wandering Gypsy.  Willie is my nickname.  In my research for related song titles I discovered that Wandering Willie is a ground cover weed, and that Sir Walter Scott wrote "Wandering Willie’s Tale" in 1824.  

If you’re wondering what follows that wandering first set, Pastures of Plenty moved on to a variety of folk musicians, including Malcolm Holcombe, New Lost City Ramblers, Malvina Reynolds, Mary Travers and a very young Bob Dylan.  Please join me for Pastures of Plenty Wednesday June 12th.
