Welcome to the Keep the Fire Burning podcast page. This is a book about music — the music of the Folk Mass era of the Roman Catholic Church. Many Boomer Catholics will automatically "hear" the referenced songs in their heads; those not of this generation will be curious about the sound of this music. These podcasts will hopefully assist you in making the Folk Mass music come alive once again.

A word about copyright clearance: According to the United States Copyright Act amendments of 1995 and 1999, podcasters may not legally include sound recordings of music on their podcasts without permission of the copyright holders. However, U.S. recordings pressed before February 15, 1972 are not subject to this copyright protection. Since all the Folk Mass recordings of the 1960s were pressed before this 1972 demarcation, I am in the clear to present them in these podcasts, especially since I have taken them from the original LP records. I will take great care to give composer and record label credits when known.
