Finger Pickin’ Good Episode #18-25 | airing 06-20-18

Two new releases served as an inspiration for the next couple of episodes.
This week we start with Tompkins Square’s collection of demos and outtakes from the great guitarist Duck Baker entitled “Les Blues Du Richmond.” From there, we celebrate a whole array of other players: from Guy Van Duser to Lauren Sheehan, Mitch Greenhill, Chris Smither, Rory Block, Ry Cooder and beyond! We’re celebrating fingerstyle guitar … on the next two episodes of The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
