We welcome spring on this week’s program, after gray and challenging winter weather and too much rain and snow. We have music from Anne Hills, Claudia Schmidt, Tom Rush, Friction Farm, Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem. “Glad for the Spring,” thanks to Anne Hills and all the rest of the musicians … this week on The Sing Out!
