I love American Routes. It’s hard to convey how much it means to me. Thank you, Nick.

Nick, you have made the world a cooler place. Better, sure. But also cooler. Thank you for sharing the wealth you found down south. You couldn't help it, I know, but your dedication has changed and improved a lot of lives.

I attended the American FolkLife Festival in Washington DC in the late '70's and heard quite a bit of this type of music. Thanks for sharing 😊🌟

I helped program some of that plus the later American Roots Fourth of July on the Wash Monument grounds. Good times! Thanks.
