Thanks for Everything John..
We give a nod and farewell to the late, great John Cohen this week. By way of his peers, students and the man himself, we will explore some of John’s work and life.
We will also be touching upon some of the artists heard at the inaugural Affrilachian On-Time Gathering in Orange, VA.
Time permitting, there may be some inclusions from the early pantheon of Country music pioneers as well, in regards to recent Ken Burns documentary.
