Earth Day for 2020 falls on April 20th, and it’s the Golden Anniversary of the celebration of our planet and nature that was spearheaded by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin. For this week’s show we celebrate the holiday with a program of gentle songs using the environment as inspiration. We'll hear music from Tom Rush, Claudia Schmidt, Archie Fisher, Erica Wheeler and many more. Happy Birthday Earth Day! … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
