You may remember that back in the summer, the Indianapolis Ceili Band was raising funds for their trip to Ireland to compete at the Fleadh, and I offered the largest individual donor the opportunity to program an entire episode of the KPC, and if desired, to co-host with me. Well, the winner was none other than our friend Shawn Collins, the multi-instrumentalist and hammered dulcimer player and enthusiast. So we have a show for you this week consisting of hammered dulcimer music from artists who've never graced our airwaves, with every track selected by Shawn, and he will also provide most of the commentary about those tracks. In 570 episodes, I've never had a guest programmer or co-host, so I'll be interested to hear what you fine folks think about this.
