Dale Watson helps commemorate Lee's Liquor Lounge

Today's Morning Edition selection is from "Jonesin' for Jones," a song from country singer Dale Watson's new album.

Watson will perform Saturday night at Lee's Liquor Lounge in Minneapolis. It will be a big night for Louie Sirian, 80, who is selling the establishment he has owned for nearly 40 years. The bar's sale will be a done deal come Tuesday.

Sirian and Watson are old friends. Watson even wrote a song about him.
