Thanks for that! I’m a long-time fan of Chuck and I enjoyed the conversation.
As for songs that move you, maybe not everybody’s seen or heard this gem:-

What a wonderful conversation! I’ve met & talked with him a couple times. However, in my mind, he’s akin to some mythical creature & I’ve been unable to communicate effectively – other than expressing gratitude. Thank you!

Geesh?! I already loved Talia long before this interview, but this enhanced it even more. I’ve missed hearing her voice on World Cafe. I recently checked out her new album and really enjoyed it. Her honesty and being SO real is refreshing as Hell. And as always Cindy, your superb questions really brings out the best from those that you interview. Thank you both.

Excellant inteview. meg hutchinson is one of my favorites. She has a sweet smile and voice. I rember her singing at Club Passim and she realy handle the crould that night so great. They were eating out of her hand. In think we went to a concert in Franklin Mass that she performed at that was in the Unitariun Church. I love watching her sing and hearing he sing. I didn’t know she was going through so much tumult. I heard her say she enjoyed connect with the peopleat the end of her program, but she should knowthe the audience enjoyed connecting with her. Can’t say enough good about meg Hutchinon. One of my favorites from the WERS cast of Cindy Intervies. Of course commjing from Western Massachusetts is a definite plus.

Great interview with a singer-songwriter who I admire greatly. Really looking forward to a new album by Sam to go along with all my others!

Comment on Basic Folk 201 – Anna Tivel & Jeffrey Martin by Angus Edward

Jeffrey & Anna got so, so many people — literally from around the planet — through the pandemic. Their weekly broadcasts from “the shack” were an oasis in an incredibly unnerving era. They should receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom for their selfless service to humanity.

Wonderful insights into living with an “invisible disability” and how it affects everything in life; also insightful discussion about songs on Lay Your Darkness Down. Excellent, as always!
