Joined by special guest Otto Konrad, we examine what, if anything, defines a stringband, as opposed to an oldtime band or a bluegrass band. Mostly it's just an excuse to listen to a bunch of music recorded pre 1950.
If you like this program, you can listen live every Tuesday night from 7-9pm, Eastern Time, on WRIR - http://www.wrir.org - 97.3 LPFM in Richmond VA. There are many other fantastic programs on WRIR, Richmond Independent Radio. Listen & support our station! Thanks.
