Fairport Convention -- Pink Floyd

Six Degrees of Rock and Roll is a special segment on The Long Strange Trip. At 11:00 on Monday mornings we connect 2 different artists to each other through bands. Think of 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon, but with bands. We play a song from each band/artist along the way and the result is an entertaining and informative peek into the interconnectedness of the whole rock and roll network.
