Rural Ledge-ucation #10: Early Memorial Day

Since there will not be a show on Memorial Day, I decided to celebrate the lives of artists we lost way too soon a couple of weeks early. There's a little bit of country, blues, soul, reggae, punk, and good ol' rock 'n roll on this jam-packed Sunday morning program.

As always, you can hear this show via The Ledge iPhone/android app, or directly download it here.
