Steve Post, the veteran broadcaster and resident WNYC Radio curmudgeon, gave listeners a taste of his newest enterprise last week in the debut episode of The No Show - an hour of music, satire, news commentary and comedy, all in his irascible, idiosyncratic style. This week he continues his tribute to Alan Lomax, the legendary musicologist, record producer, and folklorist who was the first to record towering figures like Leadbelly, Muddy Waters and Woody Guthrie.
