Songs of Thanks & The Issue of Immigration

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

A favorite with listeners, this is our annual show for the day after Thanksgiving during which we explore universal themes in line with the Thanksgiving holiday such as offering thanks and love and extending grace. This “Black Friday” program is designed to offer a bit of musical therapy to help deal with a world during these end-of-year holidays that can be increasingly burdensome — and unnecessarily noisy. This year there’s a special focus on immigration, given recent events in the Middle East and the contentious issue it’s become in the race for the White House in 2016.
