Sunday Supper: 04/19/20

The very first Earth Day took place in Philadelphia on April 22, 1970, and I was there for the music and the speeches. (Anyone remember Edison Electric Band?) So in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, this week's "Sunday Supper" presents songs celebrating - and caring for - our precious planet.

Tom Paxton will pose a perennial horticultural question, Joni Mitchell will lament the paving of paradise, and Neko Case will warn against turning our backs on Mother Nature. There will also be less familiar but equally compelling songs by Jonathan Edwards, Craig Bickhardt, Mad Agnes, The Mammals, and more.

So let the sunshine in from 5-6 p.m. EDT at 90.7 FM and wfuv.org or anytime in the WFUV Weekend Archives, on the WFUV app, or your environmentally-conscious smart speaker.
