Smithsonian Folkways

This week I'm starting the show with 12 tracks of traditional blues from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in Washington, D.C., where I have recently been accepted for an internship.  After that, I'll play some songs from a couple of Blues Power fans and a few new CDs that I've been featuring lately.

I plan to do about three more episodes of Blues Power before taking a break from the show to focus on my internship.
