It’s Mom’s Day today, so we’ll try extra hard to be nice on today’s show. Moms are generous, we know that, so we’ve got some giveaways, including tickets to the upcoming Woody Guthrie 100th Birthday Party and the return of Garnet Rogers! I took my mom to see John Prine last night, and we’re still basking in the glory of his great songs, so a few Prine covers on the show as well as the usual mix of new music, upcoming events, and stuff we just feel like listening to today.
