This is the playlist for the 500th edition of The Wagonload Of Monkeys! The show began on 18 November 2014 and this anniversary edition features British and Irish folk songs with various American connections.
Thank you for tuning in over the years, I appreciate you giving your time and attention to British and Irish folk music. I hope you’ve found the music both entertaining and interesting. And thank you, also, to the Radio Catskill management for asking me to continue bringing you this show after my move back to England. And special thanks to our indispensable Program Director Jason Dole who gave me my first opportunity in music radio about twenty years ago and has been nothing but encouraging ever since.
