The range of music Bob Blackman plays on The Folk
Tradition includes traditional folk songs, Celtic tunes, bluegrass,
acoustic blues, gospel, Cajun and zydeco, and much more.
"Every week I choose some of the very best music I can find
and share it with my listeners," he says. "I'm grateful
that so many of them have made the Sunday evening programs on WKAR/FM
90.5 a 'folk tradition' in their own home."
