After we open the show with high lonesome singer Bradford Lee Folk, we note a couple of lines of influence. First, the influence Dock Boggs had on Mike Seeger. Mike used Dock’s style to interpret a song written by Bob Dylan. Then, the Gem of Bluegrass tells of the wide influence of the Stanley Bros, particularly on the group, The Earl Bros. Later, we finish out conversation with Tim Newby, author of Bluegrass in Baltimore: The Hard Drivin’ Sound and Its Legacy. Today, Tim tells of Baltimore bluegrass artists who deserve wider recognition.
