Absolutely amazing show! You never cease to amaze me... and, more recently, surprise me! Or vive versa? That is why you are the "caretaker of folk"!

What Bobby Calzone said is what I would say. Thanks for these weekly doses of Stranger Songs. I often come back and listen again and sometimes again and again.
