American Pastimes - November 17, 2020

This American Pastimes broadcast features pioneer country fiddler Clayton McMichen, string bands and bluegrass, the Resistance Revival Chorus performing Woody Guthrie's "All You Fascists Bound to Lose," and the Down Hill Strugglers singing "Let the Rich Go Bust." Tim Grimm sings about all the things we've lost in the past four years, but mostly it's banjos, guitars, mandolins, and fiddles, with the occasional cello, accordion and clarinet thrown into the mix.
