A must for folk rock fans!

Such a joy to listen to!!

Great Lakes Carol ,

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
