Playground Traditions And Our Song Of The Week, This West Virginia Morning

On this West Virginia Morning, some playground games never go out of style. From the latest episode of Inside Appalachia, Zach Harold has the story of the students of one Boone County elementary school that still get excited for a game that’s over a hundred years old.

Also, our Song of the Week is “My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died” by The Sweetback Sisters. This week’s show is a compilation episode of Mountain Stage featuring odd, unusual and hilarious takes on familiar subjects from Randy Newman, Todd Snider, Julia Sweeney, Jeff Daniels, and many more.
