Today was one of those special days when KDRT FM will have Front Country "live" at 3:00 pm when at 8:00 pm they will perform at the Palms Playhouse in Winters. And what's that date? Friday, October 23, 2015. So I played several cuts from the Front Country CD.
Then we go to Mark Twain's early newspaper stories that cover the "Petrified Man" and "A Bloody Massacre near Carson." These were made up stories that other newspapers picked up and printed as fact. There were many newspaper complaints when the truth came out. All part of the early Twain evolving writing style.
