Theme: Halloween Related Tunes & Elizabeth Mitchell Celebration
We celebrated Halloween this week, and also the fact that family entertainer Elizabeth Mitchell will be putting on a concert in Charlottesville next Sunday. WTJU is actually going to broadcast that concert during the first hour of Tell Us A Tale next week, so we gave away a few of Elizabeth’s latest release, Sunny Day, on the Smithsonian Folkways label.
