Item Special Note

This DVD was part of a "Folk" series which aired on PBS. After doing a little research, I found out that this is quite a rare DVD and somewhat hard to find.

The DVD is humbly packaged and doesn't look like much, but for fans of folk music, this is an absolutely amazing find and a VERY generous donation from Time Life.
