American Pastimes - September 17, 2024

On American Pastimes we feature tributes to Tom Paxton, migrant farm workers, a 1931 musical collaboration between the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers, and the evolution of a song first recorded in 1911 and later by Bill Monroe. There's Flatt & Scruggs, Kathy Kallick, local duo MaMuse, and The Possum Hunters (a 1960's folk and string band that featured a well-respected Chico luthier.)
