Episode: Acoustic Blender - Sara Carter and Alison Kraus birthday sets

Yesterday was Sara Carter's birthday (of the legendary Carter Family) and tomorrow is Alison Krauss's 43rd birthday, so you know we'll hear sets from them, as well as new music from Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, a set of "Ohio" music (seem to be a lot of songs featuring Ohio...) music from folks performing in the area...

AND ticket giveaway, a pair of full-festival passes, good for the whole weekend, camping included, to the FALCON RIDGE FESTIVAL held August 1st through 3rd in Hillsdale NY. Hillsdale is about 10+ miles from the NY/CT/CT corner. Tickets sell for $129 each, so this is a generous giveaway.
