Bob turns 72 this weekend. Kevin explores the roots of Bob Dylan's songs, tracing them back to the Celtic, Old-Timey, and Blues traditions of American folk music. Such examples will include "Masters Of War" and "Nottamun Town", "Percy's Song" and "The Wind and the Rain", as well as "No More Auction Block" with "Blowing In The Wind". In addition to the birthday boy, singers will include Gillian Welch, Odetta, and Eddie Vedder. A Patchwork Quilt airs Saturday at 5pm, and can also be heard on our local music player.
