June 15th Playlist: "Right off, no never ever never ever"

Summer is almost here and change is abound. A full moon last night lit my way home as I thought about the coming week. A week of family and the recent small-farm tradition: the auction sale. Tomorrow my dad is selling his dirty ol' tractor (as Little Miss Higgins put it) and moving on from farming. Coincidentally, I got a request this morning for some Fred Eaglesmith... it all came together today! It's also Father's Day coming up, so I thought I'd play a little bit of Janis Joplin for him. So here is the playlist that combines all of it...
