"DOWN HOME"
The music of New Orleans, Louisiana,
plus roots and traditional music
of the Americas, and beyond
CANCELLED by
KCSN, 88.5 FM, Los Angeles
Programmed and hosted by Chuck Taggart
After ten years, "Down Home" was cancelled by KCSN on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, along with the station's entire lineup of Monday through Friday evening programming, to be replaced by 6:30pm to 6:00am all night overnight automation of the "AAA" format -- from then on weekday evenings will offer nearly 12 hours with no live hosts, programmers or DJs.
From here on down is the archived version of the show's page. To my listeners for the past ten years, thanks a million for all your support, and I hope you enjoyed the music. Keep an eye on my weblog for any further developments or news about any other radio gigs that might come up.
The show also features live performances whenever possible. We don't have a fancy performance studio and a paid engineering staff, so it's me winging it at the board and the musicians gather around one or two mikes, Opry-style. Musical guests over the last few years have included Red Meat, Chris Smither, Battlefield Band, Lazy Lester, Katy Moffatt, Cliff Eberhardt, Adie Grey & Doug MacKenzie, and the musicians of Na Mele O Paniolo (Music of the Hawaiian Cowboy).
You can hear "Down Home" from wherever you happen to
be -- just tune in to KCSN's live MP3 audio stream
at 7:00pm Pacific Time on Thursdays and enjoy! (An MP3 player such as
iTunes,
Audion
or Macast is required for Macintosh;
MusicMatch Jukebox,
Winamp or something similar is required
for Windows.)
If you can't catch the show live, you can also listen to the
weekly archive -- each week's program
is stored for one week, so that you may listen to it at your leisure, and every Thursday
it's replaced with the current show.

- If you're coming here
from KCSN's website, please check out The Gumbo Pages, my big site devoted
to the culture and cuisine of New Orleans and Cajun Louisiana, to roots
and traditional music, to the world of non-commercial radio, to my
daily weblog and to whatever else tickles my fancy. Set aside several
hours.

The playlist archives are about two years out of date, sadly ... because I'm a lazy bastard. Have a dig through the archives if you care to.
