KLOI - Mark Judkins Helpsmeet - Song of SoulSong of the Soul - Lopez Edition These radio programs are prepared by Mark Judkins Helpmeet under the care of the Eau Claire Quakers and sponsored for KLOI by the Lopez Island Quaker Group. 'Song of Soul' invites you to a soul-level encounter. Music has the ability to proclaim the soul's language beyond what mere words can speak. Some guests are musicians, perhaps sharing their own music, but most guests are simply sharing the music they've been impacted by, written, and performed by others. This Week: The Promise of Local Folk with Massachusetts Walking & Blackstone Valley School Back in 2020, early in the pandemic, I discovered the music of Raianne Richards and Mark Mandeville and instantly adored it, and had Mark as my Song of the Soul guest. They've just released their new album, Making Promises, and it's more of the folk-centric music they create, with wonderful harmonies, stirring stories, and great instrumentals. Today we're joined by Raianne Richards, joining us from near Worcester, MA. Raianne and Mark are inspirations and dedicated workers for the deep weave of folk music, things like their wonderful Massachusetts Walking Tour and the Blackstone Valley Music School.
