The Weekly List Special Presentation- A chat with Paul Metsa

Rich had an opportunity to talk with Paul Metsa last week. The idea was to hear the story behind Paul’s song “Christmas at Molly’s” for the second edition of Christmas on the Cannon. But the conversation took a good turn and the two spoke for nearly 40 minutes. Here is the full length, uncut conversation in which they discuss the first gay bar in the Twin Ports, playing live music after 2020, Paul’s project to get a United States Postage Stamp in honor of John Prine, and Northfield’s own Johnny Western. Plus, there’s a special guest appearance by Paul’s dog, Blue.
