Welcome to a Presidents Day edition of the Lost Music Saloon.  In addition to starting off today's show with a set of songs about Presidents, I'll also do sets of songs about summertime in honor of the nice taste of warm weather we've had here in Richmond over the past week or so; and a set of songs tracing the history of "St. James Infirmary" from the early 1900's up the present.

See you in the Saloon!
