Customer Reviews
A must for folk rock fans!
Such a joy to listen to!!
At long last
Finally! How did I not know about this? After 50 years of listening I claim that I can almost sing along with most all of the recordings I own. It was the lyrics that drew me in. Now to be able to listen to a show where it’s about the lyrics makes my life complete. My first? “When the green dark forest was to silent to be real.” Carol in TC
Lovely podcast
The podcast is a must listen. I recommend it to everyone!
