This week, since most schools in Minnesota have started by now, we decided to take a look at the subject of education in music. We’ll feature songs about school, high school, elementary school and college from artists including Steve Martin, Chuck Berry, Van Morrison and more. In hour two we’ll meet Brandon Sampson from the band Six Mile Grove.
