November is here (along with my favorite holiday) and it’s time for a new episode of Acoustic Blend! This month we are exploring gratitude for the people, places, and memories that we hold dear. And (just like last year) Zach Winters is making an appearance with his song, “Give Thanks.”
We do have some brand new music to dig into this month, and I am always thankful for new tunes! In addition to a new release from Zach Winters, we’ll hear fresh tracks from Carrie Newcomer, Joshua Hyslop, and Jon Foreman.
We’ll also have some old favorites (John Denver, anyone?) plus one from local artist Scott Greeson. And to round us out, another seasonal favorite of mine: “The Thanksgiving Song” by Ben Rector. It’s from A Ben Rector Christmas (below) and I must confess that I broke out my Christmas playlists in early October… but more on Christmas and Advent next month!
We’ll pause for a reading of “Snow Geese” by Mary Oliver (thanks, Mom, for the suggestion) and I’ll give a few tips for thankfulness including The Five Minute Journal.
Acoustic Blend airs today, Saturday, November 13 at 8pm EST on WBAA AM 920 in Lafayette / West Lafayette, and streaming live on wbaa.org. You can view the playlist at barrett.substack.com and below. ‘Til next month!
