Music Show #115 – 9/7/2018 – Telling Our Stories: Part 12

Another show in a series dedicated to encouraging us all to share our stories.

This month’s story: The Secret of the Smoke Ring Kids” – I was a boy on the verge of becoming a man and I was ready to enjoy the full-flavored taste of my first cigarette.

Song #1 “Puttin’ on the Style” – New verses to a traditional folk song originally written at the turn of the 19th century. It’s a song about the different “styles,” i.e. facades that many folks put on to go through life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj3bZoszogs
