Back in 1998, I sat through an opening act performance by a not-very-accomplished singer-songwriter. At one point, in response to a request from the audience, he said something to the effect of: "I'm an artist and a songwriter and true artists only perform their own songs."

"Oh," thought I, "there's an idea for a radio show." So, all of the songs on the January 14, 1999 edition of Folk Roots/Folk Branches were performed by songwriters whose work I really like. However, none of the songwriters wrote the songs they performed on that show. You can see the playlist by clicking here.
