From Calliope website:
http://www.calliopehouse.org/Concert%2007-08.htm

An outstanding songwriter, author and folklorist, Jean Ritchie has been a major figure in American folk music for more than thirty years. The Oakland Tribune has deemed John McCutcheon the Bruce Springstein of folk music, and Johnny Cash called him the most impressive instrumentalist he'd ever heard. Don't miss this double-bill.
