Lester & Earl with Hylo Brown precede President's Day tributes to Washington, Garfield, McKinley, FDR, Truman and Jackson. In the second hour, melodic visits to Mardi Gras in Cajun country and New Orleans, and to Carnival celebrations in 1930s Trinidad. We follow the calendar closely to prevent becoming even more Obslete.Description
