Frozen Logger

I haven’t looked at Roger McGuinn’s folk den page in a while but he’s been chugging along recording occasional folk songs and putting them up. This is a page I like. I noticed a recent entry is a recording of a song called “Frozen Logger” which apparently has Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music founder Frank Hamilton playing banjo. Check it out:

There were some great albums and music happenings in the later part of 2009 so I’ll probably work through reviewing some things and hopefully get some more podcasts up. For now here’s a video of Dave Ralwings playing a Jessie Fuller song ‘The Monkey and the Engineer’. This is also on his excellent album ‘Friend of a Friend’ that came out in 2009.
