Paul Ryan

A weekly show on music, comprised of three parts. 1) Discuss it: Each week I'll take a look at music-from its history and earliest beginnings; to some of it's great artists and songwriters; to the music industry of today (revenues, trends, and consumption). 2) Play it: Each week, I'll play one of my acoustic country songs. 3) Tell a Story: Each week we'll follow a fictional story of a musician who rises from obscurity to stardom.Paul Ryan
