Tonight on Torch and Twang, me and DJ Sparrow played a wide range of songs from your favorite folk and country artists, despite our late start due to sports. After some technical difficulties with our record player, I played an old trail song called “Bury Me Out On The Lone Prairie.” that I dug out of the dollar bin. We went on to recap our halloweekends and the steps we took to recover from them and pulled out some CDs to play some more fun tunes from Iris Dement to John Prine. After a brief bout of beetle-mania we discussed Ringo Star’s great country music voice and strange sense of style. We then ended things off by leaving on a jet plane with John Denver and pulling into Nazareth with the Band. Our playlist is attached here, we’ll catch you next time ’round the campfire.

About the Contributors
Dante Chinni-Ianzito, Co-Host of The Progressive Torch & Twang
Outside of his show here at Impact, Dante (he/him) stays very busy around campus. He’s a double major in International Relations and Comparative Cultures and Politics with two minors as well. Beyond that, he spends plenty of time doing nerd stuff like model UN and Dungeons and Dragons. With all that going on, he enjoys spending some time relaxing and listening to a bit of old time folk and country when we can. At the moment, his favorite song lyrics are “Down the sand forever/only music is forever” but ask him in a few days again in a few days and he’ll probably have a different answer for you.
