Memorial Day marks the unofficial start to the summer season. Originally it was a day of remembrance for soldiers killed in the Civil War. That honor has been extended to all who have died in our nation's military service. With that in mind, let's come up with a set of songs for this morning's Question of the Day. We'll spin a set after 9 a.m.

UPDATE Today's set:

Patty Griffin "Making Pies"

Cowboy Junkies "Decoration Day"

Jason Isbell "Dress Blues"

New Order "Love Vigilantes"

Weekdays at Noon

Ticket Giveaways from WFUV

The Bruce

Question of the Day is sponsored by the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, CT, now reimagined and expanded. Learn more at brucemuseum.org.
