This week on the program, we present our semi-annual Travel Issue. Summer is coming on and our attention turns to travel. We’ll hear travel songs and tunes from Steve Goodman, Sam Bartlett, I’m With Her, Doug Sahm, Doc Watson, Bobby Troup and many more. Pull up your Google Maps or better yet the old paper one from the filling station and plan your route … this week on the Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
