[grc] 4/24 - Nationwide Solidarity for Ukraine

[Sharon Scott]

On April 24 at 7 PM Eastern Time community radio stations across the 
country will join together as we show our solidarity with the people of 
Ukraine.  Together we will play the popular folk song "Ja pidu v daleki 
Hory" ("I Will Travel Far to the Mountains") in recognition of two 
months since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This song has been recommended by Andriy Sherehiy, Ukrainian National 
and host of Dobryi Den on WXOX Louisville.  He writes, "The song was 
written by Volodymyr Ivasyuk a legendary songwriter. A love song with no 
political message. This is something that people would play by the fire 
on guitar, or sing by the kitchen table after a few shots, or sometimes 
in weddings."

Andriy recommends the following version and will provide a short 
introduction to this song for all who are interested in airing.

Taras Chubay - Ja pidu v daleki Hory (I will travel far to the 
mountains)
(Тарас Чубай - Я піду в далекі гори)
