Hello,

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.
