• WUMB in Boston is celebrating its 20th anniversary.  Each year, the station conducts a poll of listeners' favourites -- sometimes top CDs, sometimes favorite performers.  This year the poll asks you to name your 10 favourite folk artists of the past 20 years (and if Dar isn't one of them . . . ).  And not only do you get to state your opinions, thereby providing more notoriety for your favorites, but you also become eligible to win fabulous prizes.  The site is http://www.wumb.org/news/vote.html    Thanks to Joe Luca for the news.
