Finally managed to grab a copy of Lawrence/Mozart Estate’s latest masterpiece, Tower Block In A Jam Jar. I’ve played the tiniest part in the making of it. Quite possibly the first time banjo got used on a Lawrence record…🪕

I loved talking to Bonnie Dobson, the original lost lady of folk, on having her apocalypse classic Morning Dew stolen from her, disappearing into academia, facing tragedy, and having a new career at 84 with psychedelic country mavericks the Hanging Stars.
