While I was planning last week's show, I discovered Joni Mitchell's "Slouching to Bethlehem." Listening to it more than a few times this week, I was struck with nostalgia – ending arguments about what to play on the car radio by tuning in to WUMB Folk Radio, blasting WERS' Coffee House in the high school art room, borrowing friends' cars in college to drive into the city for shows at Club Passim. Please enjoy this Acoustic Sunrise edition of Boy with Girl's Name Morning Mixtape. Thank you for listening.
