Regarding the pointer to "Ballads, Bards, & Bagpipes" and their discography:

I would suspect that this program no longer exists; I heard a broadcast
that stated that this was their last one, and that was some months ago.
Also, before that, they were not too reliable -- I sent them an SASE
for their discography and info, and never received ANYTHING back from
them. I believe that the letter got through, as I subsequently began
receiving mailings from Green Linnet Records (which I had not requested,
and I think they got the address through Ballads...).

It was a great program while it lasted; I only heard a couple shows --
it was not carried in the St. Louis area over most of its life, and I
caught one most of one show via an FM DX opening from Indianapolis one
morning. Shortly before it terminated, a local station began to carry
it at a worthless time like a weekday mid-morning, so anybody working
regular hours couldn't hear it. 

Does anybody know if tapes of the show are available for airing by
radio stations? It wouldn't matter if they were old; the music is timeless.
How many shows were there anyway? Hundreds? I have no idea of the history
of the program. If anyone knows any details about it, please post info.
