On this episode of Meraki Radio: Perspectives, Alison B digs into some writing archives from 2015 and reads a few stories that have not been read by anyone in the group prior to producing the show. What follows are the natural reactions and conversation from reading three one page stories using Merriam Webster's Word of the Day as a writing prompt. The three words and their related stories are emigrate, ombudsman & zillionaire.

This week we feature The Fire's new album "Marigold" and interview band member Rebecca Lomnicky. The Fire is a high energy traditional music band that combines world class performances of blazing Scottish music with a distinctly Californian flare. The group includes our guest today International Scottish Fiddle Champion Rebecca Lomnicky, dynamic bagpiper and multi-instrumentalist David Brewer, and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland graduate Adam Hendey on guitar, bouzouki, and harmonium. All three band members have lived and studied in Scotland, and work together to further contribute to the traditions of Scottish music in America through performances and tours, as well as workshops funded by agencies such as the National Endowment for the Arts. New releases from artists are a reminder that despite the difficult year musicians continue to create fine music.
