Playlist 11/9/2008 - Veterans Day

Hi Folks.

We celebrated Veterans Day by playing songs from America's past related to veterans, either by, for, or about.

Jimmy Driftwood seemed to resonate with listeners, so we played quite a few songs from the former Arkansas schoolteacher-turned-folk-musician.

We also had enough of a show (thanks to only just a small sports preemption) to bring back the Mayberry Corner Trivia contest.

Thanks for listening, and we'll see you Sunday, 16 November.
