Check out the first addition to the Archives page! This is one of my all-time favorite programs, with guest Steve Martin, son of Buzz Martin the singing logger. Steve tells stories about his family and his dad’s music, and growing up in an Oregon logging family. Steve is also a performer of his dad’s songs, so naturally I coax a few numbers out of him. A good time all around!
