I'm Bob Crawford.

I've been Sawyer.

And this is the road to now.

Yes, it is. Roads abound, Bob, roads abound between you and your career.

You know, I'm a kind of a busy person. I'm involved in some things.

I got a couple things going on. We both do. We both do.

Well, one of the things I have going on that you and I haven't really discussed at length is I am on the board of an organization

called the Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame. We like to call it far off. And it is this, just, it has given to me more than I could have imagined

because it's really connected me the roots of the music that my band plays.

And I've been a lifelong lover of music.

So I thought today we would have the founder of this organization, Joe Spalding,

and the current president of the organization, Casey Sauer, on to discuss Farhoff.

So because I think more people need to learn about this organization. You know, I am tangential

to this, but I am very excited about what's going on as a historian and a big fan of music. This sounds like a cool thing to be a part of, Bob. By the way, you can now tell that Ben reads the articles for the Atlantic because he used the word tangential, tangential. I can't even say that word. That's right. But one of the things Ben has going on is he, if you listen to the Atlantic's articles,

you will hear the melodious voice of Ben Sawyer reading them to you.

A melodious voice that has no business singing, Bob.

So let's get back to what matters.

Let's welcome our guest, Joe Spalding and Casey Sauerd from the Folk-American Roots Hall of Fame.

Hey, guys, welcome to the Road to Now.

Glad to be here, Bob.

Thanks for having us.

And the first voice you heard was Joe's there, and the second one was Casey, just for everybody listening to keep him straight.
