I love the shore. Especially in the Autumn. I've spent many vacation hours on Nantucket and in Stonington, Connecticut. After Columbus Day, the rates are lower, and most of the tee shirt shops and the fancy restaurants are closed for the season. You feel you have the town to yourself.
For this week’s show, we'll hear some of my favorite music with a nautical theme. Included are songs from Stan Rogers, Louis Killen, The Boarding Party, Lankum, Finest Kind and many more. Off to sea once more … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
