The Master

http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/from-woody-to-lead-belly-the-master-of-smithsonian-folkways/2015/04/17/0574a67a-e1f7-11e4-81ea-0649268f729e_story.html

Here we have a wonderful article about my old pal, Jeff Place, and how central he's been to the archiving, preservation and promotion of folk music and related arts.  I had the pleasure of working with Jeff in my first record store job, and he was my main teacher.  A wonderful person; and I can't think of anyone better suited for his job with the Smithsonian.
