It was an honor and privilege to have Nico Novick (pictured) on the show today. Listen in as she explains the mission of the Acme Theatre, its upcoming production (The Curious Incident) and a few of her favorite songs.
The Acme Theatre Co. is a youth-led theater group run for and by young people in 9th to 12th grade, based in Davis. It says its mission is to present plays of excellent literary and artistic quality, while providing opportunities for young people to learn acting, technical theater, and leadership skills through peer and adult mentorship, in an environment of mutual trust, respect, and responsibility.

It's Day 1 of The Great Time of Consumption. No, not that Black Friday business, bur rather the finishing up of the leftovers from the big Thanksgiving celebration. And like any great feast, the Audio Ecotone also generates mass quantities of leftovers -- songs scheduled to play during one of the weekly show, but bumped due either to lack of time or other events. This week, we'll pull a nice big buffet of leftovers out of the audio fridge. So grab your plate, add your turkey or vegan holiday roast and be sure to grab some large spoonfuls of music from The Bobs, Michael Franti, Ella Fitzgerald, Tom Zé, boygenius and more on this week's Audio Ecotone.

A music show on the heels of Thanksgiving must include a song about turkeys, and so it does. David Grier puts his masterful spin on the classic Turkey In The Straw. A brand new track from Dan Tyminski is in here somewhere too. And did Rocky actually say he wanted to play a dance track? Yes indeed, but you better listen until the end of the show if you want to hear it! Rocky promises it will send you away dancing.

Happy Thanksgiving. This show is for those of us in a reflective mood, with lots of smooth vocal sounds and well crafted melodies, many from a bygone era.
