Radio Tale #15: Fries & Gravy and Three Songs for a Quarter

This personal narrative explores the music of my youth, and centers around the high school years when I hung out at a Vancouver greasy spoon with my closest girl friends, a group of seven, where we listened to jukebox tunes and told stories over fries and gravy, tea and coffee, and smouldering cigarettes.
