0:09.0	from Piedmont to Ragtime to Mississippi Hill Country.
0:12.0	Get ready for today's Acoustic Tuesday show, because you'll be making a shopping list for the next time you visit your local record store.
0:19.0	Hey, TAC family, this is episode 288 of the
0:23.1	Acoustic Tuesday show, a show packed full of inspiration and fun designed to help you get more
