Look who's still at it, at 84 years into his journey. Jim Kweskin was a staple of the 1960s folk and and pre-war music revival. His famous Jug Band included bluegrass standouts Richard Greene (fiddle) and Bill Keith (banjo), plus future folk stars Geoff and Maria Muldaur. His top-flight ragtime fingerstyle guitar was much more refined than the "jug band" moniker implied. And the group was a key influence on the formation of the Grateful Dead and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Kweskin's never dropped out of the scene, and this spring he came with his newest album Doing Things Right, featuring American standards and obscurities done with flair. We spin the novelty tune "Show Me The Way To Go Home." As No Depression noted, "Jim Kweskin plays old stuff. And it never gets old." Also this hour, a show premiere for Meredith Moon, a lovely folk singer and stylist who is set to play our Old Fashioned String Band Throwdown on Sept. 9. New singles come from Ashby Frank, Lori King, and Nick Chandler and Delivered.
