This week on the show we continue to offer a remedy for all the negativity in the daily news. Once again the program features humorous songs with very little political content. We feature music from Dave Van Ronk, John Hartford, Robin and Linda Williams, Lou and Peter Berryman, Willie Nelson and many more. So, once again, turn off the TV, put down your cell phone and newspaper and have a laugh … compliments of The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
