Guest host Larry Kelp attempts to follow in the inspired Tom Diamant tradition. Everyone swings, from Spade Cooley to Lynyrd Skynyrd (doing Jimmie Rodgers) and Tom Petty (doing Hank WIlliams) and near the end there's a three-song Big Joe Turner tribute (Adolph Hofner, Big Joe Turner, Dave Alvin). For inspirational Memorial Day programming, listen to Robbie Osman's "Across the Great Divide" from earlier today: 1 p.m.
