The spark for this week’s theme was my desire to start the show with Johnny Cash “Big River”. I remembered that the Grateful Dead had covered that song and a few Merle Haggard songs came to mind. Initially I thought it would just be one segment in a show, but then I got down the rabbit hole of the Grateful Dead and found soo many more songs that I could play.HERE’S WHAT WE PLAYEDBig River Johnny Cash Sing Me Back Home Merle Haggard & The Strangers El Paso Marty RobbinsSeasons Of My Heart George Jones You Win Again Hank Williams Mama Tried Merle Haggard Big Iron Marty Robbins Big Boss Man Bobbie Gentry Deep Elem Blues Shelton Brothers Saw Mill Buck Owens Dark Hollow Tom T.
