A two hour show, theme based, drawing from a variety of Singer-songwriters, folk, pop, rock, world, jazz, etc.  There is a little bit of folk music in just about everything and you can connect the dots from Appalachian music to the Ramones:  Appalachian folk was an influence on the Louvin Brothers and the Everly Brothers;  The Everlys hugely influenced The Beatles and the Beach Boys;  The Beach Boys were a major influence on The Ramones...
