TRADITIONS playlist for May 7, 2017
Re-broadcast Saturday May 13 on www.bluesandrootsradio.com
What can I say about a broadcast that features a conversation with music legend Melanie and an in-studio performance from the amazing contemporary folk duo The Levins? Not to mention great new music from Joel Mabus, Katy Moffatt, Fred Gillen Jr. and a new collection of Woody Guthrie songs from Smithsonian Folkways? Well, hours after the show, I am still smiling!
