On this date in 1938 Thornton Wilder's Our Town was performed for the first time at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey. It went on to a successful run on Broadway and received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. That's all the excuse we need to ask for songs that mention towns in any sense of the word. We'll have a town meeting this morning.

Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.
Today's set:

  • Iris DeMent "Our Town"
  • Johnny Rivers "The Poor Side of Town"
  • Stray Cats "Rock This Town"
  • Doves "Black and White Town"

Weekdays at Noon
