  • An Ode to Pop
    This week's episode I will be dedicating to my late grandfather, Pop. It will begin with a field recording next to the banks Raccoon Creek. Instead of continuing with the usual format, I felt compelled to cover Rye Whiskey by Pete Seeger -- a song Pop taught us the lyrics to when us grandkids were pretty young. RIP Pop, we will always love you.
