The Thursday 1/24 show was in part a tribute to John Stewart, who died one week ago at age 68, in part a celebration of the Dr King holiday week, and in part an eclectic mix of my favorites old and new (kincluding Union songs, story songs, etc.). Artists featured included The Cumberland Three, the Kingston Trio, John Stewart, Dion (ABRAHAM, MARTIN, & JOHN), Joan Baez, Nancy Griffith, the Highwaymen, the Limeliters, Josh White, Tom Glazer, Roseanne Cash, Peter-Paul-&-Mary, Mary Travers (solo), Schooner Fare, the Brothers Four, the Brandywine Singers, Bud & Travis, and many others.
