On Thursday, March 9th, from 10:00 pm to 12:00 am
Pacific time, Better Days episode 208, Only One Way,
will go to air.

As Wednesday marked International Women's Day - a
day which is now recognized around the world with
respect to a movement and a struggle which I support
wholeheartedly - this week's Better Days program will
highlight women artists who are making a difference
through their music.

I play women artists on the show every single week,
but tonight I'll let the men pause and reflect while the
women sing and play.

The feature set will celebrate the music of Scottish Borders
artist, Karine Polwart, including songs from Faultlines,
her soon-to-be-released Scribbled In Chalk, and a couple
of demos of songs Karine did for the 2006 BBC Radio Ballads.

You'll also hear tracks from KTB, Patty Griffin, Bjork, Eliza
Gilkyson
, Beth Orton, Jenna Reid, Gillian Welch, Tracy
Grammer
, Eivor Palsdottir, Laura Veirs, Dar Williams,
Amy Rigby and many others.

Better Days is heard around the corner at 102.7 FM in
British Columbia and parts of north-western Washington,
and around the world by webcast at www.coopradio.org

I hope you'll join me.
