"When the Village Was Green" -- the original Highwaymen: 50 Years of Folksinging. Nick had two guests-- Dave Fisher and Bob Burnett of the original Highwaymen-- and they had a great time. He played 40 songs over the three hours, they talked a lot, and they sang one song live in the studio -- "Finnegan's Wake". Thanks to all.

Joan and Mimi sing in Spanish at Sing Sing - 1972
On Thanksgiving Day, 1972, New York's Sing Sing Prison invited B.B. King, Joan Baez, the Voices of East Harlem, comedian Jimmy Walker, and others to perform for the inmates. New York's Daily News called it one of the greatest concert moments in live entertainment. B.B. King later said it was maybe the best performance that he had ever given. http://www.thehoffmancollection.com/
Thanks to Nick for his great show on American folk singers performing folk songs in
many languages.
