Bob Blackman's name is virtually synonymous with folk music in mid-Michigan. He's been associated with the Great Lakes Folk Festival for many, many years. He’s a fixture with Elderly Instruments in Lansing, a real center of folk music in this community. Many people in our audience remember him as a part of the WKAR family. Bob Blackman hosted “The Folk Tradition” on WKAR for nearly 30 years.
