Hello,

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…

Hello,

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.

Below are the artists to be featured, which includes Lucinda Williams, who is joined by her band in this week's sneak peek playlist…
