Anonymous 4
Today, the women's vocal quartet Anonymous 4 joins host Fred Child for music and conversation. They'll sing an assortment of early English and American carols, including "The Cherry Tree." That tune tells the story of a little bit of marital strife between Mary and Joseph on the way to Bethlehem, and how Joseph received his comeuppance through the miracle of the cherry tree.
