In the American Pastimes mix this week: local lad Gordy Ohliger; a preview of Ordinary Elephant (who KZFR is hosting next week at the Chico Women's Club); some politics and social commentary from Grant Peeples, Scott Cook, and Richie Havens; contemporary stringing from the CornMaize String Band; a healthy dose of old 78's from the Skillet Lickers; and a collection of recordings by Berkeley and East Bay old-time artists made by folklorist Mike Seeger in the early 70's. Not to worry - Doc, Merle, Norman and Sam are all represented as well. 43 tunes in 2 1/2 hours!
