My 3 Songs 02/02/09
Jodi Dosmann from Cottage Grove picked our set today because.. "I am submitting these three songs in hopes that they will be played on my birthday, Monday Feb 2nd. I was born and raised in Minnesota, right off of Highway 61(really!)and wanted to include three MN artists that have been influential in my life. I have seen all of these artists in concert several times and love being a Minnesotan. Feb 2nd is Groundhog Day, which makes me a groundhog. Let hope spring comes early."

Bob Dylan - "Hwy 61 Revisted"
The Jayhawks - "Save It For A Rainy Day"
The Suburbs - "Rattle My Bones"
