Happy Jesus on the Radio day

It’s March 16th, and I only get to wear this shirt on this one day of the year, so it will last forever, and that’s a nice thing.

And as much as Guster inspired the day, Tom T. Hall deserves a mention. (He always deserves a mention.)

Jamie Kimmett has an entirely different song that shows up with that name.

Neither Kimmett’s nor Hall’s song is about today, but they both have their charms. Though the new fan-driven supercut remains the choice version.

I’m so glad the pasta percussion family made it into that version of the song. They were one of the first viral covers of the original, after all.

In a crowd — remember those? — it is a singalong.

Well, despite the lyric, if you looked back you saw this: a first for the year, owing to the changing seasons and the springing forward clocks.

The late sun is a lovely gift. Being just about as far west as you can be in the eastern time zone gives you this perk for a good chunk of the year. It’s repayment for the days and days and endless when you see nothing but gray. We were very excited to see it leaving the studio at 7:30 tonight. It’s a little thing. It’s an important thing.
