Now that I have my computer at work hooked up to the audio enhancement system, I’ve been using it occasionally to stream music. I often play classical music during classes, depending on how quiet the students are and what kind of mood I happen to be in. But one of the “radio stations” listed in the MS media player is Folk Alley. I have a real fondness for folk music and it’s not always easy to find much of it on broadcast radio.

The description of the site states:

Folk Alley is produced by WKSU-FM in Kent, OH. Streaming music programming is created and hosted by Jim Blum, who includes his own special mix of the best of singer/songwriter, Celtic, acoustic, traditional, and world sounds.

WKSU is an NPR affiliate at Kent State University. Registration is free and registered listeners can rate songs and post comments to the blog. There is also news of folk festivals, concerts, CD releases, etc. If you like folk music at all, it’s definitely worth a look… er, a listen… hmm, do both!
