All this month, we’ve been asking listeners to tell us about their lives with just three songs, as part of our series called “My Life in Three Songs.” On this holiday special, we hear from six special guests from the Chicago area: celebrity chef Rick Bayless, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg, jazz expert Alyce Claerbut and Jeanne Nolan (aka The Organic Gardener.) We also get song picks from Lee Green, a woman who not only brought a certain kind of pepper back from the brink of extinction, but also has a secret past in the world of opera. Each person gives us three songs and explain how they are connected to his or her life.
