Congratulations to Pokey LaFarge, who got a spot on the David Letterman show Monday night! Not only did Pokey give a shout-out to his hometown of St. Louis, but the song he played, Central Time, makes frequent reference to the  Mississippi River. Central Time is on his new CD, called Pokey LaFarge; go buy it now! You can see his performance below.

I talked to Pokey a couple of years ago about river music. Read the interview here.
