CD Received

The Hour of the Wolf by Amy Collins (2012)
Genre: Folk Music
When did we receive it? 5 August 2012

First of all, we would like to thank Amy Collins, a local singer from Troy, New York for sending us a copy of her newest CD for possible airplay on 'Proud to be Irish'. We had actually arrived at the radio station today and the Rymanowski Brothers, who do 'Polka Spotlight' - the Polish show that is on before us, greeted us with a hearty, "Fan Mail Call!" and gave us this CD.

Mareena discovered that Amy is actually a friend of hers on Facebook and she was kind enough to mail Mareena her CD, 'The Hour of the Wolf'. We actually haven't had a chance to listen to Amy's new CD all the way through as yet, but we hope to get that chance very soon. Please keep an eye on our newly reinstated playlists as we may be playing some cuts off this CD on future programs.
