On this fine evening we played the hits for all to enjoy. After kicking things off by talking a bit about Jesse Welles’ new single we moved on to play a little bit of Neil Young… and Graham Nash… and Stephen Stills… and David Crosby… and some of all of them together. After that confusion of names we saddened things down a bit with some of the Magnetic Fields and Big Thief but picked it back up again at the end with a bit of Mon Rovia. As the night drew to a close we recapped our Memorial Day, and played a few songs to remind us of BBQs and boat rides past including Take it Easy and Brown Eyed Girl. After getting in one last hoot and holler around the campfire we ended things off with Leaving on a Jet Plane by John Denver as that’s exactly what DJ DC will be doing for the next month (He’ll be back in June, don’t worry). Until then DJ Sparrow will be keeping the fire lit for any wandering cowpoke in need of some tunes, so make sure to Tune in next week! So long, and may all your trails be kind.

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.

Wren (they/them) is a Junior here at MSU studying English and hopes to go into the bigger music industry some day.
