Hello,

My playlist for the June 20 edition of The Mulberry Tree will include a couple of themes:  Father's Day and welcoming the arrival of the summer solstice.  Please join me and the following musicians and songwriters as we spend an hour together around the tree.  Included in the list below is Lori McKenna, who performs this week's sneak peek playlist video "When You're My Age" from her most recent album "The Balladeer."  This song seems like the perfect message and piece of advice I imagine a father or father figure giving to sons and daughters, or simply anyone in need of guidance. Meet you around the tree.
