Hello all-
This week we have no topic as such just music. Some Pete Seeger, Gordon Lightfoot, Tom Paxton etc.
Watch out for two very long folksy tracks in the second half of the show.

Hello all-
I was in Tauranga, New Zealand, for much of the week. On top of that i seem to have a cold I picked up down there. So, The Land Sings this week will be a re-run of last week's show about trains and stuff.
It's still on at the same time - 11pm ET on Thursday and replayed throughout the week.
I'll see you all in the salon car on MushroomFM's birthday weekend and next week for a brand new The Land Sings.
