Dar Williams was pretty spot-on when she sang, “And February was so long that it lasted into March.” In honor of her weather woman ways (not to mention the fact that she’s coming back to the Mountain Stage this May!), we’re devoting part of this week’s “Mountain Stage After Midnight” to the legendary crooner.
Broadcast from 1am-5am Saturday and Sunday mornings here on West Virginia Public Broadcasting, “Mountain Stage After Midnight” takes the best episodes from the show’s 31 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners.
Join us for a bit of country, a bit of funk and a whole lotta fun this Saturday March 21 and Sunday March 22 for “Mountain Stage After Midnight.”
One of this week’s featured shows comes from June 2012 and includes Dar Williams, Ray Wylie Hubbard, The dB’s, Arthur Alligood and The New Rope String Band.
The second show comes from October 10, 2010 (10/10/10, in case you were wondering), and includes such musical talent as The Hold Steady, Brooke Waggoner, Crooked Still, Joe Pug (who’s coming back to the Mountain Stage alongside Dar) and Matt White.
Enjoy Mountain Stage and want the world to know it? Share our posts with friends on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. Bring a friend with you to our next live show. Turn up your office speakers and jam out with coworkers with The Mountain Stage Podcast. And if Mountain Stage isn’t carried in your area, consider contacting your public radio station to let them know how much Larry Groce and the gang mean to you!

That applies to kinds of expression that seem to have nothing to do with machines, like crochet. Folkways Reporter Wendy Welch brings us this story of how crocheters found AI invading their communal spaces and what they plan to do about it.
