I haven&#8217;t done a show about it since way back in <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/index.php?blog=2&amp;title=songs_and_stories_podcast_4_notes_the_wo&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1\" target=\"_blank\">Songs and Stories #4<\/a>, so I thought I&#8217;d put together a  few recent highlights. We could call this one, &#8220;Three Songs, Three Stories&#8221;: Songwriter Penelope Shibley covers MY song &#8220;Spotted Mule&#8221;. I do a solo version of &#8220;Not Stubborn Not My Mule&#8221;. And Dayan Kai sings &#8220;The San Juan Song&#8221;, which just happens to be one of my very favorite songs. (Okay, &#8220;my favorite songs&#8221; is kind of a huge list, but I still love the tune.)<\/p>\n<p>Note: Dayan Kai will be featured in an upcoming episode of &#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221;. He was in town for a couple of shows, came by my house for the interview, and it just happened to be the first Thursday of the month. Since that&#8217;s also &#8220;Wooden Nickel night&#8221;, he graciously dropped by and played a set for us.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some links to go with the show.
