Routes & Branches 9/27/14

For a long time now I have been a fan of Chris Smither. I like his song writing and his guitar playing style. Last month I received a copy of his latest CD "Still On The Levee" which is a recently recorded retrospective of his career, and then last week I received the new songwriter tribute to Smither called "Link Of Chain", so I decided to make Smither my feature artist today and play a couple of sets of his music by both him and some of the artists on the tribute album.
