On this edition of the Magazine, we’ll stretch from Ireland across to the Appalachians, with a stop at bluegrass, as we continue to mark Accordion Awareness Month. Tunes and songs from Louisa Jo (Lou) Killen, John and Phil Cunningham, Los Texmaniacs, and more. Reels, tangos and Cotton Eyed Joe … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
