Song Parlor for November 11, 2020

The Song Parlor with John Patterson

Some Conversations in November After a long and tumultuous election season, this week’s show brings together a bunch of songs and tunes that might be thought of as an extended musical November conversation – a number of pieces that seem to offer opportunities for oblique commentary on the events taking place around us, a few songs about our dreams of freedom and justice and the challenges we face, several songs for the season (as days grow short and birds take flight), and, finally, several bits of advice -- including a call for the music of healing.
