Today was a special day at the Memphis Mystery Train - I had my first every in-studio guest. Intern Jerel came in to help me revive one of the old Mystery Train host's favorite features: top five songs. Intern Jerel picked out his five favorite tracks and told me (and you) why they were special to him.
