What a shame it was removed. I was listening to the bands in order, and was really looking forward to Earl. I remember listening to my dad's vinyl albums of Earl when I was a kid.

Where are you Emmy Lou?

NPR had the archived Earl Performance up for about 6 hours and then took it down. What a dissapointment for those who missed it. PLEASE bring it back. Thanks FA for the Song Circle. NPR did not cover it or post anything on their page.

Hey Scott, we had talked about Philly this year, but we will need some time to regroup after Newport.

Incidentally, how about covering the 50th Philadelphia Folk Festival, hosted by your own Gene Shay? It is Aug 19 to 21 and is an amazing festival. I'll be there.

Thank you, Folk Alley, for the great coverage of Newport 2011. It definitely softened the pain of not being there. You and NPR did a fantastic job. I am proud to be a Folk Alley member.
