Today Listen Up is visiting those Cosmic American Music sounds that make up the Wyrd American musical ethos; specifically those sounds that are merged from a country and roots music influence in the late 60’s.  It’s a million dollar (afternoon) bash!

Don’t forget our 2013 Fund Drive. We have a big goal and we’ll only get there with your support. Please donate today.

Follow the Listen Up! Blog and/or “like” the show on Facebook . Both serve as an addendum and a means to interact with the program.
