Hosted by Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul & Mary, "Legends Of Folk: The Village Scene" celebrates the folk era in Greenwich Village in the 1960s. The epicenter of the folk, folk rock and singer songwriter movements, the Village, with its cafes and coffee houses, shaped one of the most important periods in American music.
