Just before Valentine’s Day this year, we offered listeners a chance to win a personalized love song by singer-songwriter Corey Dargel. The stories poured in: a woman going through a divorce who fell for her bankruptcy attorney; a wedding photographer whose fiance broke off their engagement; two Mormons who left their church and their husbands and found each other. Kurt talked with our winner: a 21-year-old who wanted a song for her twin, who went away for college.
