Homegrown, the musical duo of Ruth Ann Levinson and Rick Droit, appeared live a month back on Lonesome Roy’s Radio Hoedown, which airs on WDBX FM 91.1 Fridays 11:00 AM to 1 PM. I happened to be sitting in that day for Loy Addington, the show’s legendary host, and loved it. The show was too fun, and there’s a recording of it below.
A shout out here to Janice Paull, station manager at WDBX, for getting the show’s audio file to me. Thanks, Janice.
The Homegrown Playlist is one of the most popular segments of Down Home Cookin’, which airs every Friday 1-3 PM Central time on WDBX 91.1 FM, Carbondale IL (www.wdbx.org). The segment is an extended playlist of the best acts from the region (and they are very, very good). Right up above this paragraph, that’s a typical example of the Homegrown Playlist. Click on it and enjoy some fine tunes.
Songwriter Rick Droit appeared on WDBX’s Lonesome Roy’s Radio Hoedown last spring, not long after his return to Southern Illinois after a couple decades in Austin, Texas.. In between conversation with Loy Addiington, the show’s host, Rick played acoustic versions of several of his originals. Rick and Loy had a great rapport, and their conversation was just about as enjoyable as the the songs. Below is an excerpt from the show.
