Artist History In March of 1999, John McEuen and Jimmy Ibbotson came to Richmond, VA to record a CD in front of a live audience for Page Wilson's "Out O' The Blue Revue" radio show. Over the course of the evening, songs were sung, stories were told, and the tradition of the folk entertainer was carried on. The album "Stories and Songs" is the result of that rainy night in Richmond.
