A few minutes ago, about 7:45 am, there was a song played, by someone named something like Jim Kersten—I am not sure of the spelling, or even the name.  It was a cover of a Supertramp song.  Does anyone know the exact spelling of the artist’s name or have a link to any more information about him?

Thanks.

Hello. I didn’t catch the show this monring so I can’t speak with absolute authority, but in looking at the playlist log i think i found your song:

Artist:  Joe Crookston
Song:  The Logical Song
Album:  Able Baker Charlie & Dog
Label:  Managrita

Does this sound right? Thanks for listening! -Ben Drain

That sounds right, thanks Ben

Thanks for answering, Ben. Yes, the performer is indeed Joe Crookston, who lives in Ithaca, New York. I brought him in for a house concert in Boalsburg in October, btw, and a songwriting workshop back in 2008- he is a wonderful performer live, and one of the few artists I can think of that seems to deliver a better show each time I see him play. Highly recommended, both on disc and in person. His CD Fall Down as the Rain is also one darn fine disc. If you track down his disc (available through his web site, among other places) tell him you heard it on The Folk Show on WPSU!
