Remembering 9/11: songs picked by our listeners

The World

Today we’re starting a week-long series in remembrance of 9/11, ten years later. Our co-producer, WNYC, asked listeners what music they would like to hear, as they think about the events of ten years ago. Something comforting, to celebrate being American and a New Yorker? Thousands of listeners weighed in.  We’re playing some of the songs our listeners picked, and hearing about the selections from WNYC’s  Chris Bannon  and  Kathleen Ehrlich.
