Here's a most pleasant and musically compelling tale of an American singer-songwriter who became a "banjo player who writes songs in English and Chinese."
That mix of musical styles and cultures brought that banjo playing songwriter, Abigail Washburn and her Sparrow Quartet together with Banjo star and banjo boundary breaker, Bela Fleck.
GPB's Edgar Treiguts's 6:12 feature effectively touches on the high points of Abigail Washburn's "Bluegrass-Americana" career and how it naturally intersected with Chinese culture and a Bela Fleck partnership without going heavy documentary-National Geographic on us. The music is sweet, genuine and often quite touching.
The feature, mixed nicely with music, runs 6:12 and then segues to a Washburn-Fleck collaboration for you to play out or talk over and fade out.
The entire 10:26 could be an ideal way to end your local magazine program or could end a particular hour of your local (AAA or AAA connected) music shift.
