Episode 2267: 23-14 Ragtime Dreams

This week we'll hear some wonderful music from the ragtime and jug band traditions. The inspiration for the program was the CD from Eden & John's East River String Band, “Goodbye Cruel World”. We'll hear a selection from that CD and one from one of their previous releases. We'll also enjoy music from The Jim Kweskin Jug Band, Cannon's Jug Stompers, Dan Hicks, The Todalo Shakers and lots of others.  Dream a little dream with us … this week on the Sing Out!
