Playlist for December 7, 1999

For the second week in a row we had a band visit us and play live on the air. This week it was Midwestern Drum, a relatively new ensemble that plays celtic-influenced acoustic music. We also did a special feature on outtakes from Johnny Cash's "American Recordings" album and gave out copies of the new Hank Williams III CD. Finally, we gave away tickets for Katie Geddes' show at the Green Wood and the Burns Sisters show at the Ten Pound Fiddle.
