Loud & Soft

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

The loud of it: Early British folk rock. The soft of it: A genuine love of the human voice a cappella. I intertwined the two in one show, while trying to make a few educational and comparative folk music points as well. The only new album is a marvelous offering from the Johnson Girls.
