Episode 424: Blowin' in the Wind

Blustery, brisk, and breezy come to mind this time of year. And since "Wind" is part of our show's name, it's appropriate that we explore the imagination of composers who depict the wild and wonderful nature of wind, all the way to Bob Dylan’s epic work "Blowin’ in the Wind".
