November 2026

Hi everybody

UNDO THE DAMAGE was the #4 most-played album on folk radio in October, based on 101 DJs reporting to Folk Alliance International. The song was #2. My thanks to all the djs andto Hudson Harding promotions!

Tuesday begins my 21st season at Osher/Florida Atlantic U's Lifelong Learning, with two lectures this fall: "From Blues To Folk: Lead Belly and Guy Davis," and "Born In Chicago: Muddy, Butterfield, Chicago, and Prine." It's a very cool experience studying Lead Belly again, with some recent film to share. I might break out my twelve string! December 8 & 10 Rod & The Humdingers have two concerts of "The Songs Of Paul Simon," one of my (and your) all-time favorite songwriters.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Black Box Theater last week! This Friday 11/13 Rod & Rex are at Tim Finnegan's in Delray Beach, and 11/24-25 I'm singing the Dylan tunes in a re-enactment of The Last Waltz, The Band's historic farewell in 1975, at Boca Raton's Funky Biscuit. Saturday 12/5 I'm playing the South Florida Folk Club Concert at N Miami's Luna Star Cafe, and Sunday 12/6 (2 pm) The Sunday Sampler in Melbourne, FL.

In the winter there's a Florida tour and The People's Voice 2/20 in New York City. Want to book a concert? Email rodmacd@aol.com.

Now that the midterm elections have spoken, the work to Undo The Damage is just beginning. For a morning reminder, we have a handsome coffee/tea mug in 11 or 15 oz sizes, along with tshirts at BlueFluteMerch.

Were you at the Greenwich Village Folk Festival 40th Anniversary Concert? We're a bit late, but we now have t-shirts and coffee/tea mugs to celebrate the festival and help fund future shows. All profits from GVFF items go to the festival.
