Stories are an important part of any time of year, and with this program we begin a two-part presentation of singers and song-writers who tell wonderful stories with their songs. We’ll hear Joel Mabus, Stan Rogers, Woody Guthrie, Kate Campbell and lots of others. Sing me a story … this week on the Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
