<p>This Sunday, May 29 on The Mulberry Tree, I focus on Memorial Day in song. I chose songs for the playlist that touch on the subject of remembering, reflecting and acknowledging those who played a significant role and made an impact upon our lives. I believe strongly that if we stop and acknowledge those individuals, give them the respect of a few moments of our time, it helps keep us on a path moving forward. Here's who will be sitting around the tree with us this Sunday. The list includes Mark Knopfler who performs this week sneak peek playlist video with "True Love Will Never Fade," a song included on his album "Kill to Get Crimson." Meet you around the tree!</p>

<p>This Sunday, May 8 on The Mulberry Tree, I made a playlist of all songs about wine. May 8 is Mother's Day, and this is my way of giving a nod to my mother Charline, who enjoyed a nice glass of fermented grapes now and then. Please join me and the musicians listed here, which includes the subject of this week's sneak peek playlist video. That musician is the late Jeff Buckley performing James Shelton's "Lilac Wine." The live performance is intoxicating, or "heady wine" as mom use to say. Happy Mother's Day to all who have had the privilege to fill that role. Hope to meet you around the tree on Sunday.</p>

<p>My first set of songs on The Mulberry Tree this coming Sunday will represent strong female vocals. Later on in the playlist, I'll be featuring several tracks written by the late Bob Dyer. Bob was a performing songwriter from the Boonville-Columbia Missouri area. Two separate listeners suggested I feature Bob's music on the tree, and I certainly appreciate it. Monday, April 11 marks 15 years since Bob's passing, so I saw it fitting time to share a few of his songs with you. This week's sneak peek playlist video is James Taylor and J.D. Souther with "Her Town Too," which features some of the most magical harmony vocals. Their voices blend effortlessly and beautifully. Here's my full list of artists to be heard this Sunday:</p>

<p>This Sunday, January 30 on The Mulberry Tree, I feature songs about girls...all kinds of girls! The reason for this inspiration is that my niece Elyza turns 10 years old on Sunday, and I wanted to honor her in a special way. I'll also have family members announcing my station ID's during the show. I thought Elyza would enjoy that. Join me in wishing her a special birthday. For this week's sneak peek playlist video, I chose "Girl from North Country" as performed by Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. Meet you around the tree!</p>

<p>This Sunday, January 16 on The Mulberry Tree, we can sit back and enjoy an hour of music that's filled with variety. For me, this wonderful opportunity to bring you music each Sunday evening is about creating an adventure for your ears. It's a lot like mixing a song in the music studio in order to achieve just the right mix of sounds, styles and tempos, and leaving some space here and there to keep your mind open. For this week's sneak peek playlist video, The Cactus Blossoms perform "Powder Blue," a tune written by band member Page Burkum and found on their album "You're Dreaming." The Minneapolis-based duo of Page Burkum and Jack Torrey create a sound reminiscent of The Everly Brothers but with their own unique twist to keep it relevant. Here's a list of who will be around the tree with us this Sunday:</p>
<p>Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell </p>
<p>Brandi Carlile </p>
<p>Greg Brown </p>
<p>Kris Delmhorst </p>

<p>I open my program this Sunday, January 9 with two songs from Joni Mitchell. I chose my two favorite Joni songs to share with you as I congratulate her on receiving a Kennedy Center Honor. My sneak peek playlist video for this week features Joni herself, graciously articulating her reaction to receiving such a prestigious honor. The remainder of the program will mainly consist of songs I aired for the first time on The Mulberry Tree in 2021. They aren't necessarily new releases, just new to the tree. Please join me and these wonderful musicians who will set the mood for us. </p>

<p>In spite of the unseasonably warm weather of late, I decided to prepare us for the inevitable: cold, snow and ice. It's part of what we experience here in the Ozarks, most times not predictable and at times, mysterious and magical. For this week's sneak peek playlist video, I've got James Taylor performing "The Frozen Man" from his album "New Moon Shine." Hope to meet you around the tree with these wonderful musicians I chose just for you.</p>

<p>This Sunday, December 12 on The Mulberry Tree, I have a theme in mind: boats, ships, sailing, and the sea. There's endless songs to choose from on these subjects, but for me it's about setting a mood, so I'm pretty deliberate when choosing songs and where to place them in the playlist. I hope you enjoy the ride, along with these fine musicians and songwriters, which includes Wyatt Easterling, who performs this week's sneak peek playlist video "Stay in the Boat." The song offers encouragement, understanding and compassion to those who may be struggling emotionally, as many do this time of year. Enjoy the song and stay in boat.</p>

<p>This Sunday, December 5, I'll spend the first half of the hour highlighting the music of John Lennon. We'll hear the voice of John Lennon plus that of several musicians who chose to honor the late songwriter and musical genius by covering a song of his. The second half of the hour will be songs to take us on a nice musical adventure. Take a moment if you can to listen to the Giving Tree, this week's sneak peek playlist video feature the Plain white T's in a rather bizarre yet poignant video to accompany the lyrics of the song. Hope to meet you around the tree.</p>

<p>This Sunday, November 21 will feature my annual Thanksgiving theme with the holiday coming up on Thursday, November 25. The themes woven throughout the hour revolve around gratitude, family, home and solidarity. Those are things I wish for each of you. If you don't observe Thanksgiving in a traditional sense, perhaps the music will provide a sense of togetherness for you as we listen together. Below are the musicians and songwriters I've chosen for the hour, which includes Tim Grimm and his family band who perform "Finding Home" for this week's sneak peek playlist video. My best to you all.</p>

<p>On The Mulberry Tree this Sunday, July 18, songs about caring, reminiscing, love, and appreciation are featured in the playlist. Included is EastmountainSouth, the now-disbanded duo of songwriters Kat Maslich-Bode and Peter Bradley Adams with their recording "So Are You To Me" from their self-titled album. You won't see them performing live as the video is scrolling only the lyrics as the recorded version plays in the background. The lyrics to this song are just perfect for letting someone know what they truly mean to you, whether it be a friend, lover, spouse, relative....perhaps consider sharing the video with someone you feel needs to know how much you care about them. I hope to meet you around the tree because you mean a great deal to me, kind listeners! </p>

<p>I had a lot of fun putting the June 6 Mulberry Tree together for us to enjoy. I'll never get tired of the challenge to compose a playlist that truly takes us for a musical ride for an hour. For me, it's not just a list of songs I throw together, they have to make sense as a compilation, and leave you with the feeling you've been on a journey. The journey I have planned for us for this episode includes John Prine's "You Got Gold" as my sneak peek playlist video. Hope to meet you around the tree.</p>

<p>I'll play tracks from some of my favorite songwriters on the May 2 edition of The Mulberry Tree. The list includes George Harrison, because I was gifted with a dream of him recently where he treated me with the utmost kindness and humility. Who knows why we dream, how we dream, and understanding that not all people dream makes me even more grateful for the "visit" from my favorite Beatle.

<p>I begin The Mulberry Tree on Sunday, April 25 with a song written by Rusty Young, former member of the band Poco, who passed away recently, and suddenly. I am grateful for all the years I was able to enjoy Rusty's musicianship and humble appreciation for those who followed his career. He truly was one of the best. Ray LaMontagne's song "You are the Best Thing" seems to be a fitting song for this week's sneak peek playlist video. That track is part of Ray's "Gossip in the Grain" album. Hope to meet you around the tree. </p>

<p>Please join me on Sunday, March 14 for an hour of songs I fit together in a playlist just for you. I begin the show by honoring something we see in bodies of water around the Ozarks, the waterbug. From there, the variety will be wide but as a whole, all songs fit together nicely and will set a good mood for you, I believe. Included in the list of featured artists below, you'll see Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell. That's who you can enjoy in the sneak peek playlist video for this edition of The Mulberry Tree. They are performing "Dreaming My Dreams," a song written by Allen Reynolds, and one that Emmylou and Rodney included on their magnificent album "Old Yellow Moon."</p>

<p>I'm really excited about this Sunday's edition of The Mulberry Tree, airing February 28. I put together a playlist of songs written when the songwriter was inspired by a city in the United States. Each song represents its own city. There were many to choose from, but the challenge was very enjoyable to find an hour's worth of songs I thought you would appreciate.</p>
<p>Below are the artists to be featured, which includes Lucinda Williams, who is joined by her band in this week's sneak peek playlist video as they perform her song "Jackson," part of her collection titled "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road." Meet you around the tree!</p>

<p>I'll be acknowledging and celebrating the folk singer-songwriters and musicians that will be part of my Black History Month edition of The Mulberry Tree this Sunday, February 21. I really enjoyed putting the playlist together for us to share for an hour around the tree. Here's the list of musicians who will grace the airwaves this Sunday, which includes Jesse Fuller’s San Francisco Bay Blues. His song has been recorded and covered by musicians too numerous to name. What a joy to see him perform it himself in this week’s sneak peek playlist video, recorded in 1968!</p>

<p>On Sunday, January 31, I'll open the program with a song that has helped power me through the challenges of this past year that included a pandemic, political chaos, and separation from family, friends and performing music with my band mates. That song is "The Tunnel" from My Politic, a song written by Kaston Guffey. My list of musicians and songwriters below who will be featured on the program includes The Cactus Blossoms, who are Minneapolis-based brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey. I chose their song "Powder Blue" as this week's sneak peek playlist video. Hope to meet you around the tree!</p>

<p>This coming Sunday, January 10, please join me in honoring and celebrating the life of Carolyn Huber, who was the original host of The Mulberry Tree for 26 years before retiring in 2009. She passed the torch to me that year, and now 11 years later, Carolyn has passed away, and it's time to give her a fitting acknowledgement and musical sendoff. Below are the musicians and songwriters who will add magic to Carolyn's tribute show. The list includes the Wailin Jennys who are highlighted in this week's sneak peek playlist video with "The Parting Glass," a traditional tune performed flawlessly in three-part harmony.</p>

<p>Happy New Year 2021 from The Mulberry Tree! I thought a great way to begin the new year would be to acknowledge how the month of January usually gifts us with cold, wintry weather here in the Ozarks. I've got a wide variety of songs about the snow, ice, cold temperatures,etc.ready for us to enjoy. I hope you'll be able to join me and that you have a place to be warm and comfortable. Even if you live alone, you are never alone when you're around the tree with me. Let's enjoy the music together, presented by the performers and songwriters listed below. That list includes Norah Jones, who presents to us this week's sneak peek playlist video as she covers Hank Williams' "Cold Cold Heart," a song Norah included on her "Come Away with Me" collection.</p>

<p>This Sunday, December 27 on The Mulberry Tree, I created a playlist of songs about the subject of time, as we approach the beginning of the new year 2021. I certainly hope the times ahead are filled with hope and positive changes that benefit us all. Below are the musicians and songwriters who will fill the airwaves for the one hour we spend together around the tree. Featured for this week's sneak peek playlist video is Gregory Alan Isokov with "Time Will Tell" from his collection titled "The Weatherman."</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>On Sunday, December 13, I've got four songs ready for my first set that were written by John Lennon. I do this in acknowledgement of the 40th anniversary of his passing. It's amazing to think he would be 80 years old today. This week's sneak peek playlist video is a wonderful video of songwriter Shelby Lynne performing the title track to her release "Revelation Road."</p>

<p>There's a theme for The Mulberry tree airing on Sunday, December 6. As winter approaches, I thought I'd take us for a one-hour ride on boats, out on the sea or down a river. It will be a nice getaway for us. Below lists the musicians and songwriters scheduled for the airwaves. That includes songwriter Wyatt Easterling who performs this week's sneak peek playlist video with "Stay in the Boat."</p>

<p>Thanksgiving is on my mind for this coming Sunday's Mulberry Tree, airing November 22. I've also got songs lined up that will help us reflect on things for which we can be grateful. Most of us will continue to be separated at a time of year when we're gathering together, so perhaps sitting around the tree together will give us all a sense of connection. Below are the musicians and songwriters to be featured, which includes Lyle Lovett. Lyle is the highlighted musician for this week's sneak peek playlist video where you can enjoy him performing songwriting legend Guy Clark's "Step Inside This House," the first song Guy Clark ever wrote.

<p>There is no theme, no rhyme or reason to the order of my playlist for Sunday, November 8. I looked at a lot of music in my library and just chose one at a time, thinking that they would fit together nicely. I'd like for you to join me around the tree to see what you think. I've lined up some wonderful musicians and songwriters to entertain us. Here's the list, which includes John Lennon, who appears in this week's sneak peek playlist video performing "Imagine," with lyrics that are both timely and timeless.</p>

<p>Tune in on Sunday, October 11 to enjoy an hour of songs about being "alright." I enjoyed putting the program together for you in an effort to offer some encouragement in unsettling times. Each songwriter had a different reason for using the word "alright" in their composition. The word was used in many different ways from song to song, so ride along with me on the musical journey and you'll see what I mean. It's always so good to have you around the tree with me. Here's who will be sitting there with us, which includes Dar Williams with "It's Alright" found on her album "Promised Land."</p>

<p>Sometimes it’s hard to sum up my upcoming playlist….this is one of those times. I’m feeling very plugged in to all of you these days and therefore, I’m allowing my instincts to guide me in creating the tracks for the lineup this Sunday, September 27. This week’s sneak peek playlist video is from one of my favorite songwriters, Darden Smith. His natural writing process is to let a song be born through every stage and in every sense of the word. The song I chose is “Angel Flight," a co-write between Darden and Radney Foster and a most beautiful collaboration between the two songwriters resulting in the creation of the organization songwritingwithsoldiers.org. Rather than try to sum up the human kindness which encompasses that journey, I encourage you to visit songwritingwithsoldiers.org. Enjoy the video and song, and please join me and the following musicians next Sunday. I’ll save you a seat.</p>

<p>I look forward to our time around the tree this Sunday, September 20. I always imagine us with our chairs (properly distanced, of course) in the grass, sitting in a circle around the perimeter of the tree, watching the musical notes rise from the top of the tree and drift off into the beyond and into ears...not just human ears, either. My cat use to love music. I have many home recordings that include Spot where I was laying down a new song, a practice track so to speak, and he would wait until the very last note, then announce his approval...the perfect caveat I'm grateful to have memorialized and can enjoy when I'm missing him. Below is my playlist for this Sunday. I'll start with a song to get us thinking, then take you on a musical journey for the remainder of the hour. Included in the playlist is Tim Grimm and the Family Band, who are performing this week's sneak peek playlist video with their song "Finding Home."</p>

<p>I'm really looking forward to The Mulberry Tree playlist this Sunday, August 16. It's a program I've wanted to air for months, featuring songwriters and musicians of color. As encore shows were airing, it allowed me the time and energy to research the music and present the energy and emotion successfully to you for the hour. This week's sneak peek playlist video features the beautiful voice and stage presence of Valerie June, performing tenderly "Tennessee Time" from "Pushin' Against a Stone." Valerie wrote this wonderful song about her home state. Her sound and style are very Appalachian to me, and her simplicity in delivery allows us to be transported to a time when Appalachian music was coming to life and being shared. Please join me and my special musical guests around the tree this Sunday. Have a great week, everyone.</p>

<p>This Sunday, August 9 on The Mulberry Tree, I share with you songs I came across over the last several months when I was unable to produce new programs.

Here’s who will be entertaining us this Sunday evening, which includes Lori McKenna, who presents this week’s sneak peek playlist video “The Balladeer,” from her recently released collection of the same name. </p>

<p>Finally, this Sunday, August 2 on The Mulberry Tree, it's a brand new program following several months of encores. Though I've really enjoyed combing through the archives and finding older programs to repeat, it brought me a lot of joy to put together a new playlist. While I was putting the show together, I thought of messages and sentiments I wanted to share, considering what we have all been challenged with these past months. That lead me to choose the songs I did, with you in mind, offering encouragement and comfort through the voices of musicians who had the same concept in mind. </p>
<p>Please join me and these wonderful guests around the tree this Sunday. The list includes John Prine, who passed in April from Covid 19. Millions of hearts broke when John crossed over, but in sharing with you his video "When I Get to Heaven" with you, I think you'll see that he set it up nicely to lighten our hearts after his departure one day. Enjoy the video, recorded live at Austin City Limits, and smile nice and wide for John. By the way, a special shout out to Jason Wilber, John Prine's guitarist, for his dedication to and affection for John all these years. Jason is a gifted songwriter, as well, and has released several collections of his music. I have featured Jason on The Mulberry Tree in the past, and do so again in the future, so keep your ears open for that, and visit jasonwilber.com any time. Also, nice job on the kazoo in the video, Jason!</p>

<p>This Sunday, July 26 on The Mulberry Tree, it's my final encore show, paving the way for new editions of the tree to begin airing on Sunday, August 2. I will temporarily produce new shows from the safety of my home on the Ozark Plateau until it feels like the right time to go back to the KSMU studio in person to resume production there. For my show this Sunday, we can sit back and enjoy an hour of songs about rivers. I thought it would be real fine to embark on a virtual float trip with all of you, taking twists and turns around river bends, exciting rapids and through slow pools. I produced this river song show waaaay back on June 2, 2013, a little over seven years ago. Here's who we'll enjoy listening to, which includes the subject of this week's sneak peek playlist video, the late and forever awesome Jimmy LaFave with "River Road." Meet you around the tree,and meanwhile, my heartfelt wishes for health, safety and happiness.</p>

<p>This Sunday, June 21 on The Mulberry Tree, I have the privilege of presenting an encore edition which originally aired June 19, 2016. This show is in honor of fathers, as this Sunday is Father's Day. Fatherhood takes many forms, whether you're a father to a human or animal, and if you've filled the role of both father and mother, I acknowledge you and send each song in my playlist out to you. I will be thinking of my own father, Bart, and know his spirit will be beside me. He was a music lover, and supported the same in myself and my siblings. Pull up a chair around the tree with me. We'll have a good time. You can enjoy this week's sneak peek playlist video as well, which features John Prine from way back in 1992 performing "Daddy's Little Pumpkin."</p>
<p>Here's the musicians and songwriters joining me this Sunday:</p>

The cool thing about airwaves, is that I can still be with you, and send you my gift of songs. I wish you health and happiness, and strength. This will pass.

<p>On The Mulberry Tree this week, I hope you'll join me to hear my playlist, which includes a song from John Prine in a duet with Susan Tedeschi. John Prine died a few days ago after contracting coronavirus. His music has been featured frequently on my program. His ability to write and deliver such a wide variety of emotions through his music with such relatable lyrics is what made him a songwriting hero in my book, and a legend whose talents and energy will live on whenever we play one of his songs. The song we'll hear this week is "Color of the Blues" found on John's album "For Better or Worse," and you can enjoy that song as this week's sneak peek playlist video by following this link:</p>

<p>This Sunday, March 8 on The Mulberry Tree, I begin a four-part series acknowledging the 50 United States in song. Each of the songs you’ll hear over the next several weeks represents in some way one of the states, beginning with Jason Isbell’s “Alabama Pines,” a song included with his collection “Here We Rest” and the subject of this week’s sneak peek playlist video. </p>

<p>Hello,
This Sunday, December 15 on The Mulberry Tree, it’s my personal tribute to my best friend and songwriting compadre Liz...Elizabeth Anderson Dillon. She entered the great beyond November 3. I poured my guts into producing and recording the program...powered through how raw I felt. But it was hands down the most fitting and loving acknowledgement of her life I could think of, and was capable of creating. When I finished recording the last words, as I sat in the studio and reached in my purse to pull out my car keys, a feather fell to the ground. Had it been in my purse?? Where did it come from?? With Liz, we always talked birds. Always. We wrote and sang songs about birds. We imitated bird sounds out on her deck and waited for replies. Then laughed until we hurt. I went straight home from KSMU that day and wrote a song....”Feather”....dedicated to Liz’s daughter Cody.
Thanks for taking the time to read my heart. You know, to be able to utilize the magic of radio waves to share Liz’s memory with you is so very awesome. With that, I have a request: share this post far and wide. Let’s form the biggest circle of friendship and love you can imagine for Liz. Let’s acknowledge how Liz helped shape the Springfield music community with her songwriting talents and a great deal of humility. If you’ve heard the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, you’ve heard Liz and her songs. Let’s honor and acknowledge her, and send her the very best of our positive energy. She will be with us this Sunday evening. Celebrate her life with me! Here are the musicians who will be joining us:
Elizabeth Anderson
Kate Wolf
Gillian Welch and Alison Krauss
Bonnie Raitt
The Wailin Jennys
Ozark Mountain Daredevils
Steve Canaday
Emmylou Harris Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt
Hot Rize
Jeff Buckley
Jesse Colin Young
Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins
Nickel Creek

Little Willies

Something incredibly exciting will happen during my show: a song will make its debut, the song is "Sunshine" and it was written by award-winning songwriter Larry Lee. Larry finished arranging the song and recorded it just for The Mulberry Tree listeners in honor of the eclipse. Very cool, wouldn't you say? Tune in to hear it and all of the songs I chose, compliments of these musicians:
