Here’s your midweek musical lineup:

Not always, but sometimes, folk is Tom Waits. He writes about the underbelly of humanity and delivers his stories in his signature gravelly voice. Today he’s ‘In the Spotlight.’

8:00 p.m. Tim Hardin Live at Woodstock, Max Yasgur’s Farm, Bethel, NY, August 15, 1969

We close out the programming tonight with folk icon Tim Hardin, one of those artist who passed from this planet at far too young an age.
