Although the July 4th holiday was the day before the program, we continued the birthday bash with a varied show that mixed in a bit of the patriotic with some of Pete Seeger’s “American Favorite Ballads”, a new reissue; touching tributes in the aftermath of the horrific Sept. 11 terrorist attacks; a pinch of 1960-70s protest; and a few cuts from another new reissue of an American Original, Dave Van Ronk, who died earlier this year.
