Mark was kind enough to stop by the studio at 99.5 the Bear earlier this week and play a song for us. He thought it was fitting to play "The River Song" to help us remember Summer one last time before the cold weather set it. It helped because it was a chilly 40 degrees when Mark played.

Grab a Bud Light and head back to the river with Mark McKinney's performance of "The River Song."
