This year’s holiday season will be like no other since the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. Families have been instructed to avoid large gatherings, and as we move into December many celebrations will become virtual. That said, we’re continuing our tradition of focusing this seasonal program on songs about travel and food. We’ll hear music from Gillian Welch, Joel Mabus, Tom Rush, The Good Ol’ Persons, Tony Joe White and many more. Remembering the traditions of Thanksgiving … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
