Troubadour_small From the beginning of the show, relax with us as we listen to some of our favorite poets and troubadours, including Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Joan Baez, and a holy host of others. Plus you’ll hear the classic “Mr. Custer” novelty song from Larry Verne (perhaps the first Vietnam war protest song!?)
