We’re launching our celebration on the air of our 2001 season with the rebroadcast of an extraordinary show from that year, featuring one of the founding fathers of modern blues, Buddy Guy; plus legendary folksinger Odetta, whose rich variety of musical collaborations have included Dylan, Pete Seeger, Harry Belafonte and Paul Robeson to name a few. And we have a wonderful eChievement award story about a nonprofit based in Oregon called Sisters of the Road Café.
