Kevin's guest will be singer-songwriter-educator Steve Seskin.    He'll sing and talk about his anti-bullying anthem "Don't Laugh At Me".  That song rose up the charts and inspired a curriculum that's being taught in schools to promote tolerance.  In addtion, he'll talk about a couple of young songwriters he'll be introducing at a show later this month at the Freight And Salvage.  Also this week, We'll hear from two fine finger-style guitarists Joe Miller and Duck Baker.  And since it's Father's Day, Kevin and son Willie play a game on the radio together
