With help from Steve Cropper, Josh Kelley, some artists who passed this week, a song that works as my "reset button," and a final song for the show that I hope KFAB Nation appreciates, I needed this 'music therapy' session this morning.

After talking with her mayoral challenger yesterday, Jean Stothert addressed many of the same topics during today's conversation. The two will debate on 1110 KFAB at 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 6th.

I talk with the Omaha mayoral challenger about public safety and gun control in our town, along with those usual city election topics of taxes, streets, and trash pickup, ahead of KFAB's Mayoral Debate on May 6th (and the general election on the 11th).
