For the podcasts this week and next, we’ll revisit some great live music we presented in previous shows, music recorded live in concerts across the years. There are selections recorded in Greenwich Village, some great Cajun and Zydeco, and banjo music from the Newport Folk Festival. Live and in concert … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
