Episode #970

Time to close out 2022 with some of the best music and memories from the year and ring in the new year with some new music and some exciting upcoming shows. We’ve also got our nearly annual tribute to Hank Williams and Townes van Zandt, and a tribute to one of the greatest Canadian songwriters of them all, Ian Tyson. Our tribute got a little derailed when the station’s Internet connection went out, but we managed to get in some of his best.
