Summer is sadly drawing near its close, with some children and grownups already headed back to school. Gather around the old computer (or the old-school radio) and listen to some music that children and adults will enjoy. We include music from Dan Zanes, Elizabeth Mitchell, Greg Brown, Trout Fishing in America, Dave Fry and, of course Pete Seeger, along with many more. One last celebration of summer with great music for everyone … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
