This hour of the “Saturday Morning Coffeehouse” featured a very special guest: Noel Stookey. Often referred to as the “Godfather of WERU”, Noel has been a great friend of Community Radio for over 24 years, even before the station began broadcasting. Noel talked about his soon to be released new CD and performed live in the studio.
