I used to tune into woodsongs...
but have not for awhile. Thanks for the reminder.
I've been watching and listening to some of the deep end sessions...I know a lot of those folks, but since the festival scene is sick with COVID I've not been able to see them.

Hola Philly, y good morning too. I mostly listen to whatever
comes along. For example, there's often a lot of stuff in open threads that I will fire up.
I listened to the Arhoolie Anniversary livestream yesterday and may revisit it if it is still playable. Off and on throughout the week and day I work on one of my OTs, which involves finding specific tunes by specific artists to throw up there, so that is an influence because of You Tube's nasty habit of throwing up interesting stuff in the sidebar to lead me down various rabbit holes. I also have a very large and very eclectic collection of CDs ripped onto my various devices such that I can select specific artists, songs, albums or whatever to play.
If I don't think I'll be interrupted, I sometimes have my phone read content heavy e-mails, magazine articles and the like or pick and choose You Tube clips, and if I just want ambient background and don't care if it is interrupted, then Jazz Radio, any of numerous stations depending on my mood, Sirius, sort of the same, but mostly the jazz or blues stations because so much of it is too pop, and if I'm in between moods and modes I have my own "station" on LiveXLive (used to be Slacker) that is extremely eclectic but super light on fluff.
So, prompted by that question, the fact that it is morning get-your-act-together-time I believe I'll start with this and see where it leads me (If you can find this CD, buy it, trust me):
be well and have a good one
