Spring is here, the buds are forming on the trees and we're trading in our big puffy, winter coats for spring jackets.

The Story and the Song is back on East Coast Music Hour with the word - Emerging.
As we attempt to put the last few years of Covid behind us and enter a "new normal", many of us are reflecting on this, and "emerging" a changed person.
The East Coast Music Hour asked eight songwriters to write songs on the theme "emerging" and how they see this word reflected in their own experience.
"We got back eight completely unique songs," says host Bill Roach. "We'll hear their stories and their songs for the whole month of April on East Coast Music Hour."
