     bummed.
 DAVY SPILLANE - Litton Lane [OUT OF THE AIR/Tara]  Blues on the uilleann 
     pipes, with Rory Gallagher on slide dobro and some neat blues harp to

     orangutana!

 RANDRIANARIVO & LAHIKOTO - Afindrafindrao [MAKAGASKAR 3: VALIHA/

     Madagascar.
 
 The 1:00am feature segment:  A Jazz Funeral for Willie Humphrey, 1900-1994

So long Willie, we'll miss you ...

     gorgeous melody from medieval France, from the area where the
     Acadians came from.  Guitar, viola and bells only.

     Michael Doucet took this old melody and wrote lyrics to it, describing
     the Acadian migration to Louisiana.
 GABRIEL YACOUB - Ma Delire [BEL/Keltia Musique]  Solo album from former
     Malicorne singer.
