I just happened to notice that this week marks Alcatraz Prison's 75th Anniversary as a federal prison. The prison was know as The Rock and was describes as inescapable.

Alcatraz is the most famous prison of all. It's been used in countless films, including Clint Eastwood's, Escape from Alcatraz. The tours of The Rock arer still a hugely popular.

So it's "prison songs" as my assigment today. We'll hear Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Toots, M Ward and more for my part of our Saturday!
