Hi everyone! I certainly hope all of you are enjoying this holiday season. I'm waiting to see which of the four different forecasts for Springfield will actually come to be. They range from no snow at all to five-plus inches of snow. While I wait I will give you this update on the artists scheduled to help us prepare for the New Year 2013. Just a few days ahead of New Year's Day my show will feature tracks from the following: Slaid Cleaves (2 tracks) Tracy Chapman Austin Terry Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum John Prine Rob Thomas Eliza Gilkyson Mary McCaslin Levon Helm Mark Erelli James Taylor Jerry Douglas (instrumental) FCC regulations prohibit the posting of full playlists prior to airtime, so that is why I am only able to let you know the names of featured musicians in advance. I will try to do that for you every week. You can view Mulberry Tree playlists in their entirety immediately after the show is over by going to this link: http://ksmu.org/show/mulberry-tree The Mulberry Tree airs on Sunday evenings at 10 p.m. CST on KSMU 91.1 FM, Springfield Missouri's NPR affiliate station, and also at the following locations: Branson - 90.5, West Plains - 90.3, Mountain Grove - 88.7, Joplin - 98.9 and Neosho - 103.7. AND we also stream live at www.ksmu.org. If you ever have any suggestions or comments, you are always welcome to send them to me at mulberrytree@ksmu.org Thanks for tuning in to The Mulberry Tree during 2012, and I hope you will keep returning to meet me on the airwaves in 2013.
