Replay of The Folk Brothers from Dec. 8, 2021: Remembering Bill Staines

Bill Staines wrote choruses that people wanted to sing. Many of us remember his annual visits to a certain old barn in South Davis, where we sat and sang along to his songs like "Roseville Fair," "River," "Crossing The Water" and "A Place In The Choir." After 22 albums and a half-century of touring across this country from his native New Hampshire home, Bill Staines passed away on Dec. 5 at the age of 74.

Also on today's show: tracks from Jackie Oates, Dave Curley, Seth Lakeman, Foghorn Stringband, I See Hawks In LA. And lots of Bill Staines!

Bill-

I was looking at Garth Hudson's long, long list of apearances/studio work on "Credits" for Garth at All Music online.  I'm wondering if Garth ever played w/ virtuosi like Yo yo Ma or classical -cross genre giants, jazz greats?? or beyond- bluegrassers like Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, David Grisman, Tony Rice, Vassar Clements ...etc. You know of any odd bits of his musical history in this vien? 

very local neighborhood KDRT-supporter,
