MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:
Finally, this hour, a correction and your emails.
ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST:
In yesterday's program, we said that Congressman Dave Camp, a Republican from Michigan, was facing a primary challenge in his district. The congressman's office called us, and we confirmed he is not facing a primary challenge.
BLOCK: We regret that error. Now, a testament to the power of music or at least one good song.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "DYING DAY")
BLOCK: That's Brandi Carlile singing "Dying Day," the final pick in our series about winter songs. "Dying Day" got listener Joanna Woodbury and her husband through an 11-week wintertime wait to adopt a little girl from Ethiopia.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED BROADCAST)
SIEGEL: We heard Joanna's story yesterday, and many of you were quite moved, including David Bareither of Bloomington, Illinois. He writes this: I'm currently in my final semester earning my bachelor of science at age 29 while working full time and, oh, how I long to be home with my 11-month-old daughter and wife of five years. This song brought tears to my eyes as I thought about graduation in May and our subsequent trip to Colorado. Thank you so much for stories like this. They make people like me feel less alone when in the library until 1 a.m.
