On today’s show we started off with the ever important ode to the 29 men who lost their lives to Lake superior 50 years and a day ago: The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. After a moment of silence we gathered around the campfire to play some new legends like Adrian Lenker. Once we got Bob Dylan out of the studio once again we set a boat down the bayous of Louisiana with some smokey blues from Tom Waits and Louis Armstrong. Getting lost in the flurry of the snowstorm we talked about the holidays and heading home before taking a sharp turn to the Emerald Isle with The Dubliners and The Pogues. To finish out the night we let Neil Young play us out before stomping out the coals of the campfire. We’ll see you around the fire next week. Attached below is our playlist of the night
