The intimate sound of the guitar winds down the Thanksgiving weekend. As accompaniment to songs and as a solo instrument, the guitar warms the sonic hearth. Host David Garland presents new recordings by Will Stratton, Beach House, The Hand, and Six Organs of Admittance, unique in-studio recordings by Kevin Barker (pictured), Gareth Dickson, and James Blackshaw, plus a 1967 masterpiece by Robbie Basho.
