A long-time listener suggested the theme for this week's show- remembering country musicians who have passed on.  We'll hear songs and stories from country superstars and more obscure country artists.  Join me in commemorating the life and death of those who gave our world the special gift of music and song.  Plus we'll hear from living artists soon to be performing at the one-day Electric Fences country music festival in Nehalem, Oregon on August 4.
