Chambers Street Theatre for 11am on May 21st, 2015

Mark Twain was a reader so he knew all about balloon trips and detective stories.  Twain used the balloon trip idea in "Tom Sawyer Abroad," and off Tom, Jim, and Huck go up in the air.  As usual, Twain makes a few side trips, and today Ruth reads the opening of Chapter 1 telling the travlin' story of Postmaster Nat Parsons.  Nat goes to Washington to see the President about a letter to someone unknown with postage due.

Dead Wax for 5pm on May 20th, 2015

Episode 29! I just got back from a 5 day flyfishing trip to Central Oregon. When life gets a little too hectic for me, I grab my fly rod, pack my bag and head for a quiet lake or river and unplug for awhile. I had a great trip to a spot that was one of my Grandpa's favorites. We used to fish there together and returning always gets me thinking about him. He was a big bluegrass fan and he loved great country picking. Tonight we're going to feature some fantastic picking with the Doc & Merle Watson album, Ballads From Deep Gap. Oringinally pressed in 1967, this album has been out of press on vinyl since. The CD reissues just didn't have great sound. On Record Store Day this year, I picked up the brand new vinyl re-issue and it sounds great. We'll hear 3 tracks from it, plus a little Jerry Jeff Walker, Townes Van Zandt, Gillian Welch, Old Crow Medicine Show and more!
