Folkish music to Christian anarchism pipeline

The episode name is only kind of a joke. Dug into the inspirations of the Avett Brothers, ended up reading about Tolstoy's conversion.

@ DJ Sharke (Host) Hi there! The Ramones, the All man Brothers and David Grisman, all in one playlist. Excellent. Where else but WPRB and New Issues?
DJ Sharke (host) 3:38:13 AM
Hi Richard! one of my favorite parts of episodes based on artists' inspirations. great musicians tend to have great taste!
Richard of Rocky Hill 3:41:46 AM
Our host tonight has great taste, too. :-D
DJ Sharke (host) 3:42:53 AM
and great listeners! been listening to anything neat lately?
Richard of Rocky Hill 3:43:36 AM
I'd never heard John Denver's cover of "Fire and Rain." It's really good, very affecting indeed. My appreciation of the late Denver has certainly broadened.
Richard of Rocky Hill 3:46:33 AM
Well, WPRB is my go-to for music. Otherwise, as a bluegrasser I'm totally enjoying banjo wizard Tony Trischka's latest awesome album Earl Jam.
Richard of Rocky Hill 3:48:06 AM
I'm also on a jag for J-Pop on the CDE player in my car. How's _that_ for eclectic? ;-D
DJ Sharke (host) 3:50:05 AM
nice! I haven't heard of Tony trischka but I'll have to check him out. I love some good banjo, especially Billy Strings
Richard of Rocky Hill 3:57:00 AM
As it turns out, Billy Strings (who, like Trischka. is amazing) guests on "Brown Ferry Blues" which kicks off Tony's Earl Jam album.

I think the suppression of "t**s" in the song title was by an overly zealous AI screener who had that word in its grounds-for-banning algorithm because of its slang meaning of "breasts" ...
DJ Sharke (host) 4:06:28 AM
I think the way our platform works another dj must have censored it, which is confusing...
Richard of Rocky Hill 4:51:58 AM
My oh my! That's a powerful bloc of live classic country.

Richard of Rocky Hill 5:00:26 AM
