(Me, with my dad at my wedding. Hi Larry!) Sunday is Father's Day, which meant that this morning was a very special dad-themed edition of the Memphis Mystery Train. Most of the songs featured regular fathers, heavenly fathers and fatherly advice. As always, the locally made tracks are marked with an asterisk.
