Wisdom of the Elders is our monthly series where our host, Sonny Ochs, along with co-host, Ron Olesko, invite distinguished members of the Folk community to share stories, advice, and the occasional song! This series is a compilation of conversations that were recorded starting at the 2010 NERFA Conference, as well as new discussions that are exclusive to our podcast.
This episode was recorded at the 2014 NERFA Conference. Sonny Ochs organized a panel that featured renowned banjo player and multi-instrumentalist Eric Weissberg of "Dueling Banjos" fame; folk radio icon Bob Sherman the host of "Woody's Children"; and Afro-Puerto Rican folksinger, songwriter, and actor Jack Landron (who performed and recorded during the folk revival as Jackie Washington). Sonny's co-host for this panel was radio host, writer, musician, speaker David Newland.
