It’s our last show before Canada Day, and although we celebrate great Canadian music every week on this program, a few special songs in honour of the day. We also look ahead to the return of Washboard Hank, and play a bit of a 4th of July tribute for our American friends. Most excitingly, we’ve got some very special live guests today, as Texas based singer/songwriters Mike June and Jess Klein dropped in to chat and play some of their great songs!
