    Reflection and Memories in Song

    The anniversary of the 2001 9/11 attacks inspires reflection and memories, and here are some songs that express related emotions: compassion, uncertainty, fear, determination, and hope. A few songs—by Chris Rael, John Vanderslice, and Sport Murphy—address the event directly, while other songs—by Nina Simone, Antony and The Johnsons, Mose Allison, Feathers, and others—touch effectively on the feelings associated with life-changing experiences. And from Bob Dylan and Devendra Banhart we have songs that deal with issues of war. Perceptive songs, old and new, presented by host David Garland.
