The Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour Podcast show

Summary: RONI STONEMAN is one of the great banjo masters of our time. The youngest daughter of the pioneering country music family The Stonemans, she became "The First Lady of Banjo," a fixture on the Nashville scene, and, as Hee Haw's Ironing Board Lady, a comedienne beloved by millions of Americans nationwide. She was the subject of a book called 'Pressing On'. Roni has just released the first single 'The Day The Banjo Dies' from her upcoming album. She will be appearing on WoodSongs with her sister Donna. http://www.ronistoneman.com/ DOUG SEEGERS is a brilliant 62-year-old singer who struggled with homelessness for years. Seegers found acclaim when Swedish music star Jill Johnson discovered him in a Nashville food pantry. The two subsequently recorded a duet that climbed to the top of the music charts in Sweden. His debut solo album entitled 'Going Down to the River' on Rounder Records is raw, rootsy and emotionally charged. It features collaborations with multi-GRAMMY winners Buddy Miller and Emmylou Harris, both of whom have championed the formerly down-and-out singer. http://www.dougseegersmusic.com/ WoodSongs Kid: Fiddlin John Maupin is only 8 years old and has already won quite a number of awards.
