Six String Sampler

The Edge Of AmericanaSix String Sampler

Playing it sweet and safe on the Edge of Americana this Week. Josh is out on the Road, and I'm spinning a Six String Sampler with all my favorites: E C Ball, Sam McGee, Wayne Henderson, Bryan Sutton, Mississippi John Hurt, Mike Seeger, Delmore Brothers, Bruce Molsky, Low Anthem and Doc Watson. Comfort food for a late… summer evening. Put the transistor radio on the porch or tune your Ipad to the webstream. It's all good radio. Otto
