Thile and Meyer on Woodsongs
Chris Thile and Edgar Meyer were the sole guests on Monday’s (10/20) Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour, with the full 60 minutes dedicated to the music of their recent CD/DVD project, Edgar Meyer & Chris Thile. Host Michael Jonathan also conducts brief interviews with both artists.
