You can hear a lot of wonderful blues, jazz and folk music in the 3 hour video. And I am thrilled to have heard what Chris Smither said about me at the start of his 15 minute segment, "Mr. Ross, I don't know how you ever escaped my attention up till now but I will make up for lost time, I guarantee you." You can hear him speak about the festival, the performers, and me in particular starting at 2:39:00. Thank you very much Chris and I must say that I have long marveled at your singing, writing, and guitar playing. You are the best of the best my new friend.
And thank you to my old friends, the wonderful singer songwriter Rod MacDonald, and Raymond Micek for putting me on the show with such greats, and thank you to Ron Olesko, Christine Lavin, and Sonny Ochs for their kind words as well.
