Singer-songwriter Sharon Goldman joined me in the studio this week.  Sharon performed songs from her new CD “Kol Isha – A Woman’s Voice.”  I also chatted with Rex Fowler of Aztec Two-Step over the phone, discussing the upcoming 45th Anniversary Concert at the Hurdy Gurdy Folk Music Club at the Fair Lawn Community Center.

In addition, we sadly paid tribute to Fred Hellerman of the Weavers, who passed away last week at the age of 89.  I also paid tribute to singer-songwriter Kacey Jones, who also passed away on September 1 following a lengthy illness.
