My guest today is Mary Scheidt. She knows so much and is such a good teacher! Every visit I learn something new or think about things in a different way. I hope you have a similar experience. Today included, exploring, birding, plants, and MAKING A REDWOOD HAPPY! (That "happier redwood" discussion continued with Don Shor in the next hour -- on the Davis Garden Show for 7/22/21.)
This visit we talked about getting to know "your patch" -- your yard, your neighborhood, your region, your climate and ecosystem. Lois introduced a "hypothetical new birder" to the joys of bird life by setting up a hummingbird feeder and becoming fascinated with those beautiful little friends. Then we consider how to learn more as you get involved with the hummers lives. One easy next step if you want to expand your horizons -- a birdbath! |

For the 10th anniversary of his death, we remember one of New England's finest singer-songwriters (and novelists). Bill Morrissey left behind a dozen albums in a recording career that stretched from 1984 to 2007. On today's show, we remember Bill through his music and the lens of fellow songwriters Marc Erelli and (the late) Eric Taylor. Bill Morrissey died on July 23, 2011, in a motel room in Dalton, Georgia, while on a short tour of the South.
Also on today's Folk Brothers: new music from Rachel Baiman, Watchhouse, I See Hawks In LA, and WB Yeats poems set to music!
