Homespun: February 16, 2020

This week on “Homespun”, we celebrated the life of Bluegrass Banjo player and singer Mike Lilly with music from his time with Harley Allen and with Larry Sparks and the Lonesome Ramblers. We also heard the sounds of South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo in celebration of the passing of its leader Joseph Shabalala, and new music from singer/songwriter Claudia Schmidt!

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.
