This week on Homespun we explored new music from Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn, The Lonesome River Band, and Special Consensus. We also slipped back to the 20's and 30's with Banjo Ikey, The Grinnell Giggers plus Walter Jacobs and Lonnie Carter; and we heard a couple classics from Patty Larkin and Michigan's own Steppin' in it.

Tom Ball is the host of 'Homespun' on WCMU, and is also a marketing representative for the station. He is responsible for securing program sponsorships for both WCMU Public Radio and WCMU Public Television.
