The Patsy Cline Theater isn't just an auditorium — it's Winchester's de facto civic center. From Willie Nelson to Vince Gill to Sara Evans, from the Apple Blossom coronations to 35 years of community gatherings, it's where Winchester has shown up for itself. And the seats, after nearly 40 years of student traffic and standing ovations, are showing every bit of their age. On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes an old friend back to the show — Larry Weiss, Executive Director of the Winchester Education Foundation — for a conversation about how the Foundation supports Winchester Public Schools and the year-long Community Comfort Campaign to replace all 1,100 seats and the carpeting in the historic theater. Larry walks through the full scope of the Foundation's work — scholarships for graduating Handley seniors, a unique endowment from Mindy Loy that funds continuing education for Handley graduates who come back to teach in Winchester schools, and the brick-and-mortar work that brought the Emil and Grace Shihadeh Innovation Center into existence (now featured in a national PBS-style documentary called Multiple Choice). Plus: a special August benefit concert at the Patsy Cline Theater by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Valerie Smith, whose new "musical journal" Maggie's Journal sets her grandmother's post-Civil War handwritten journal to bluegrass, Americana, and roots music — with all proceeds going to the seating campaign. ABOUT THE COMMUNITY COMFORT CAMPAIGN A year-long fundraising campaign by the Winchester Education Foundation to replace all 1,100 seats and the carpeting in the Patsy Cline Theater at John Handley High School — the venue that serves not just the school but the wider Winchester community as a civic center, concert hall, and Apple Blossom event space. Total project cost is estimated at approximately $1 million. New seating and carpeting installation is targeted for summer 2027. WAYS TO PARTICIPATE • $350 names a seat — name tag can honor anyone (teacher, parent, classmate, graduating student) • Purchase an entire row to reunite a graduating class • Take one of the old seats home as a souvenir when they're uninstalled • Any contribution — from $10 to $10,000 — moves the campaign forward • The balcony will be dedicated in honor of Russ Potts • All 1991-era donor name tags will be moved to the new seats, preserving the theater's history BENEFIT CONCERT — VALERIE SMITH'S MAGGIE'S JOURNAL Saturday, August 1, 2026 • 7:00 PM Sunday, August 2, 2026 • 2:00 PM matinee Patsy Cline Theater, John Handley High School LINKS & RESOURCES • Winchester Education Foundation — winchestereducationfoundation.org (click the Community Comfort Campaign graphic on the homepage) • Valerie Smith — thevaleriesmith.com (concert tickets and information) THE VALLEY TODAY with Janet Michael — A decade of conversations.

La politica Americana on the road

There are very few artists who can claim popularity in one decade, then claim it all over again with a new band or approach to music. In Australia in the 1970s, Joe Camilleri was a huge draw with his band Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons. They created a blend of R&B and reggae that worked well, and were a big draw in Australian pubs and concert venues. After the demise of the Falcons, Camilleri started a new band called The Black Sorrows that started life as a Zydeco outfit, then evolved into a blend of Americana, soul and a touch of Van Morrison inspired songs. …..this episode isn't about Joe Camilleri..... Welcome to Episode 193 of Love That Album. The drummer for most of The Black Sorrows' first era was Peter “Lucky” Luscombe. He's known as the songwriter's drummer, because rather than trying to show off his chops, he always thinks, “How can I make this song sound great?” He's worked for decades as both a band member and as a session musician. Nowadays, he's most known for playing in Paul Kelly's band (3 decades and counting) and as the longest member of the Rockwiz Orkestra. If you hear his playing, you KNOW it's Lucky. He's also played for Stephen Cummings, Chris Wilson's band of the 90s post Crown Of Thorns, and Rebecca's Empire. I was thrilled to have one of my drumming heroes on the show as we discuss his career, how he approaches a drum part, what he loves about great songwriting, why Australian session musicians are behind the rest of the world in terms of remuneration for their work, why The Meters and Tower of Power are hugely important.....and much more. My thanks to Lucky for joining me on the show, and to Brian Nankervis for encouraging me to reach out to him for a chat.

Chip Taylor (3/21/1940 - 3/23/2026)Like a cat with nine lives, Chip Taylor's persona embodied many iterations. Starting with his successful “songwriter for hire” status, penning golden hits like Wild Thing, and Angel of the Morning, up through his phoenix-like resurgence as an Americana elder statesman, the story of this man's artistic survival, emerging as it did, out from the quicksand of addiction, stands as one of the Splendid Bohemian's tales of celebration.https://www.songhall.org/profile/chip_taylorBROWSE THROUGH THE CATALOG OF CHIP'S RECORD LABEL "TRAIN WRECK RECORDS"  https://www.trainwreckrecords.com/

Welcome to The Following Films Podcast. I'm your host, Chris Maynard. Before we get into today's conversation, I have a quick three-second favor to ask. If you love discovering the stories behind your favorite movies, please subscribe right now. While you're there, leave us a quick review, it helps other cinephiles find the show, and if you hear something you love today, tell a friend about us! Word of mouth is how we grow, and we appreciate every single one of you.Today, we are exploring a gorgeous new indie road movie that just hit theaters on June 5th. It's called Carolina Caroline, and joining us is the man responsible for its stunning, emotionally raw look—cinematographer Jean-Philippe Bernier.This film is a beautiful contradiction. It draws heavy inspiration from classic 1970s Americana and grit-and-grain crime cinema, yet it maintains this deeply intimate, contemporary emotional perspective. Jean-Philippe teamed up with director Adam Rehmeier for the third time to craft a visual language that feels like an "endless summer"—that reckless, fleeting feeling where you think the sun will never go down... until reality hits you hard.In this episode, Jean-Philippe is taking us behind the scenes of how they built that grounded road-movie aesthetic. We talk about why embracing raw imperfections actually made the story feel more authentic, and how they visually balanced the tenderness of a romance with the high stakes of a crime thriller.It is a fantastic conversation for film lovers and filmmakers alike. So, grab your popcorn, settle in, and let's welcome Jean-Philippe Bernier to The Following Films Podcast!

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with the extraordinary Wendy Moten for a conversation about longevity, versatility, professionalism, and the many different ways a singer can build a meaningful life in music. Wendy has one of those careers that musicians know and revere: a major-label artist in the 1990s, a world-class touring vocalist, a sought-after session singer, a member of the Grammy-winning Time Jumpers, a regular performer on the Grand Ole Opry, and, more recently, a powerful presence for a new generation of listeners through The Voice. What struck me most in this conversation is how clearly she understands her craft, her purpose, and the discipline required to sustain both.We begin by talking about the busy season she is in now, balancing solo work, sessions, weekly performances with the Time Jumpers, and another major tour with Vince Gill. Wendy shares the story of how Vince first called her out of the blue after her run with Martina McBride had ended, and how that invitation opened an entirely new chapter in her career. From there, we get into what she calls her “version of country music,” and how she found it not by imitating the genre, but by studying its history, listening closely, and finding an authentic way to bring herself into the tradition.One of my favorite parts of the conversation centers on harmony singing and what it really means to support another artist. Wendy talks beautifully about what she learned during 15 years as Julio Iglesias's duet partner, including how to listen, how to match breath and phrasing, how to stay out of the way, and how to make someone else sound even better. She says she was “getting paid for self-control,” which is one of the best descriptions of professional background singing I have ever heard. That whole section of the conversation is full of insight for anyone who cares about what it means to serve the music at a very high level.We also talk about church, family, and the support system that made her life in music possible. Wendy reflects on growing up in Memphis, singing in church, and learning early how to stand in front of people, even when she was shy and uncomfortable. She shares how much her parents sacrificed to create opportunities for her and her siblings, and how much those sacrifices still mean to her now. We also spend time talking about her Grand Ole Opry appearances, including the emotion of making her Opry debut without her parents there to see it, and the significance of standing on that stage as a Black woman in a space where history has not always made room for everyone.Along the way, we get into her years at EMI, the pressure to be shaped into whatever version of success the label wanted at the time, and the freedom she eventually found by building a career outside the usual boxes. Wendy talks openly about not needing fame in the conventional sense, about loving the role of underdog, and about continuing to surprise people. This is a conversation about singing, certainly, but also about resilience, humility, excellence, and how to remain generous and grounded across four decades in music.Key TakeawaysWendy Moten reflects on building a career across pop, country, jazz, Americana, sessions, television, and touring without being confined to one lane.She shares how 15 years with Julio Iglesias taught her phrasing, breath, dynamics, communication, and the art of listening more deeply.Wendy talks about singing with Vince Gill and the Time Jumpers, and how she developed her own authentic relationship to country music.She offers a sharp and memorable perspective on background vocals: great harmony singing requires self-control, consistency, and leaving your ego at home.The conversation explores how the church shaped her confidence, artistry, and ability to recover from mistakes in front of an audience.Wendy also reflects on The Voice, why she chose to do it, and how it introduced her to a new audience without diminishing everything that came before it.We discuss the Grand Ole Opry, the emotional weight of her debut, and the significance of taking up space in a tradition that has not always been inclusive.Music from the EpisodeOde to Billy Joe - Wendy MotenDon't Touch Me - Wendy MotenDriving Nails in My Coffin - Wendy MotenFaithless Love - Wendy Moten (with Vince Gill)About the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast where I sit down with musicians, singers, songwriters, producers, and creative people for thoughtful conversations about craft, career, collaboration, and the life experiences that shape the music.

Ep 259 “Farm-to-Table Assault Aesthetics” – National Gun Violence Awareness Month (Bullet Poof Bulletins) Celebrating the launch of eco-fiction anti-gun novella Bullet Poof and National Gun Violence Awareness Month, Avis Kalfsbeek brings back beloved Kitty O'Compost with the Bullet Poof Bulletins. Tonight on the Spoke-Easy stage, Kitty O'Compost breaks down a leaked corporate rebranding strategy that attempts to launder military hardware with a rustic aesthetic. This bulletin satirizes the weapon industry's use of heritage marketing and walnut wood paneling to rebrand tactical platforms as "wholesome, organic Americana." Inspired by the grounding, transformative themes of Bullet Poof, this episode laughs at the corporate attempt to camouflage violence with artisanal style and points us back to the real heritage found in creative community spaces. Resources: Bullet Poof is a hopeful eco-fiction novella about what happens when ordinary people refuse to accept the gun status quo.

Jim Carrey's first dramatic role since Ace Ventura 2 takes us into a discussion exploring the more relevant than ever themes of The Truman Show. Existentialism, surveillance-state, and psychological trauma coated in a perfectly set cookie-cutter 1950s Americana. Mike is not a big fan of the movie and its one of Johnny's top-10 of all time, which made for a really interesting episode. Thanks for listening, tell your friends and paramore, and as always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the best nostalgic movie podcast in the world! Maybe...

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!SHOW SUMMARY:Date: June 10, 2026Name of Podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS10: E9: Charlie Marie - From Rhode Island to the WestSHOW SUMMARY:A single comment from a vocal coach can change a life, especially when it points you toward the voice you were meant to sing with. I'm Randy Hulsey, and I sit down with classic country and Americana artist Charlie Marie to talk about how a Rhode Island upbringing, a Patsy Cline-sized inspiration, and years of real-world experience shaped a sound that feels both vintage and fiercely personal. We get into the early music that raised her, the pressure to fit a mold, and the moment she realized she had to stop imitating and start telling the truth.  Charlie opens up about a defining childhood moment on Star Search, how public critique planted a fear of being seen, and why that old wound resurfaced when her career started gaining attention years later. From there, the conversation turns into an honest look at healing and the music industry: the myth that success fixes what hurts inside, the hard work of facing emotions you would rather avoid, and the choice to stay true to your inner compass even when it costs you comfort.  Then we hit the road. Charlie shares stories from a cross-country journey that took her deep into the American West, with car camping, unexpected kindness from strangers, and nature as both refuge and creative fuel.

"Music videos were an avenue for women to break into directing, which was really important at the time. A lot of women basically got their start directing music videos because nobody wanted to do them... until they became super popular." — Susan Lambert HatemThe great mid-season packing and moving marathon continues! In the second half of this double-header special, hosts Susan Lambert Hatem and Sharon Johnson return to count down the remaining legendary music videos that defined the MTV golden era. As they sort through decades of personal boxes, memorabilia, and old memories, they track the evolution of 1980s visual storytelling—from simple performance videos to cinematic masterpieces.Along the way, they highlight the unsung female directing pioneers who shaped the medium and share unforgettable insider Hollywood stories involving space shuttles, Aerosmith rehearsals, and the infinite grace of Whitney Houston. Grab your headphones and join the ladies for the final leg of this high-energy, nostalgic tour down memory lane!THE CONVERSATIONThe Mid-Season Packing Hiatus: Susan and Sharon share an update on their respective moves, navigating the emotional and physical heavy lifting of downsizing and uncovering hidden historical gems in old storage boxes.Female Directing Pioneers: The ladies discuss how music videos served as a vital gateway for groundbreaking female filmmakers like Mary Lambert and Penelope Spheeris at a time when traditional Hollywood doors were shut.Choreographers Step Out Front: Sharon breaks down Paula Abdul's iconic black-and-white debut for "Straight Up" (directed by David Fincher), mapping her legendary transition from behind-the-scenes Laker Girl choreographer to a front-and-center music superstar.Classic 80s Cameos & Cameo's Word Up: A celebration of Cameo's "Word Up" featuring a remarkably baby-faced LeVar Burton as an overwhelmed police officer, alongside a dive into the origins of the phrase "wave your hands in the air like you don't care."The Reality of the Road: A look at Bon Jovi's cowboy-tinged "Wanted Dead or Alive" leads to a touching tribute to the grueling, marathon work ethic required of touring bands traveling from city to city.Sepia Tones & Lake Pedal Boats: Susan explores the Americana aesthetic of Rod Stewart & Jeff Beck's "People Get Ready" cover, pulling back the curtain on a rare 1965 pre-MTV performance by The Impressions filmed on pedal boats with the young stars of Dick Clark's Where The Action Is.Susan's Disney & Cape Canaveral Tales: Susan shares an extraordinary behind-the-scenes story from her time in Disney broadcast publicity, recounting the legendary, high-budget Armageddon premiere launch party where Aerosmith played a private rehearsal concert directly in front of a lit-up space shuttle.Sharon's Oscar Rehearsal Memories: Sharon looks back on attending Academy Award rehearsals, offering a beautiful memory of Whitney Houston's profound kindness and grace toward a young fan while at the rehearsal for her iconic duet with Mariah Carey.The Welder with a Dream: The ladies champion Irene Cara's "Flashdance... What a Feeling" as an essential piece of 1980s feminist representation, reflecting on the film's rousing choreography and the publicity crew's spontaneous cubicle performances of "Armageddon: The Musical."

This is Kate Danaher's first novel. She's been a member of Bonita Bay Club for over 18 years. She holds a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Delaware and is a former professor of English at Rosemont College, Pennsylvania. She is an Irish storyteller, fiddler, and a founder and emeritus board member of the Irish Heritage Theater in Philadelphia. She also performed with and served on the board of the Delaware Shakespeare Festival. Under the name Danaher and Cloud, she and her music partner, Amy Cloud Chambers, produced four Americana albums: Portraits, Late Bloomers, The Holiday Album, and the multi-award-winning album for kids, Just Kiddin'. All available on popular streaming services. Victoria Woodhull helped shape women's rights in America, yet most of us never learn her name or we only hear the rumors. We talk with Bonita Bay Club member Kate Danaher Parks (pen name Kate Danaher), the debut author of Unstoppable: The Victoria Woodhull Story, a new historical fiction novel publishing in June that aims to put truth back where myth has taken over. Kate shares why Woodhull's fight was bigger than “the vote” and how a falling out with better-known leaders helped push her out of the mainstream narrative. We get specific about what surprised Kate most during her research: how often sensational claims get repeated as fact, and how hard it can be to correct the record once a story becomes convenient. With support from longtime Woodhull researcher Mary L. Shearer (VictoriaWoodhull.com), Kate revisits the “free love” label, the misunderstandings around Woodhull's personal life, and the real stakes of advocating for social freedom in the 1860s and 1870s. If you're searching for women's history, women's suffrage, feminist pioneers, or the untold story of Victoria Woodhull, this conversation is a smart starting point. We also pull back the curtain on craft and process: why Kate wrote the screenplay first, what screenwriting forces you to cut, and how the novel finally gave her room to make Woodhull feel human and relatable. Kate shares the COVID-era routine that kept her drafting, what it took to deliver a full manuscript, and why “clear” beats “perfect” on the page. You'll also hear about her community storytelling, from tournament articles to Irish music and live events, plus what's next with the sequel volumes Shattered and Victorious. Subscribe for more member stories, share this with a friend who loves historical fiction and women's rights history, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show. What part of Victoria Woodhull's story do you think deserves the spotlight now?

Horror's reigning Queen of Extreme returns to the show!   CJ Leede is the author of Maeve Fly and American Rapture, and if you're abreast of contemporary horror you've heard of her twisted take on Americana.   She's back to talk about her third novel, Headlights, in which people are waking up from fugue-like states, to find themselves draped in the flayed skins of other people. What's going on? Who's doing it? Is it human or supernatural? Does it have anything at all to do with Stephen King's The Shining? And where does the songwriting magic of John Denver come into things?   CJ answers these and many other similarly weird questions. There's so much to cover, we barely even talk about the act of skinning someone alive.   Enjoy.   Other books mentioned: The Shining (1977), by Stephen King Doctor Sleep (2013), by Stephen King How to Disappear Completely (2027), by Liz Kerin   Support Talking Scared on Patreon   Check out the Talking Scared Merch line – at VoidMerch   Come talk books on Threads, Bluesky, and Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Is the cultural pendulum finally swinging back?In this episode of The Whitfield Report, Sam Whitfield examines what may be one of the biggest cultural shifts of the decade: the decline of corporate-driven woke activism and the emergence of what many are calling a new Summer of Americana.For years, Pride Month dominated corporate advertising campaigns, government messaging, and social media trends. But in 2026, something feels different. Major brands are scaling back their activism, public enthusiasm appears muted, and Americans are increasingly pushing back against the culture-war excesses that once seemed untouchable. Sam breaks down what changed, why it happened, and what it could mean for the future of American culture.From the fallout of the Bud Light controversy to growing skepticism of activist-driven entertainment, this episode explores how public attitudes are shifting and why traditional values, patriotism, and classic storytelling are making a comeback. Sam also discusses the renewed popularity of iconic characters like James Bond and Lara Croft, and why audiences seem to be gravitating back toward aspirational heroes, femininity, masculinity, and timeless entertainment.The conversation even extends into pop culture and fashion. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Penny Lane recently turned heads with a widely discussed runway appearance during Miami Swim Week, leading many online commentators to jokingly proclaim that "boobs are back" in the cultural mainstream—a lighthearted but telling example of broader conversations surrounding beauty standards, femininity, and changing cultural tastes.The rise and decline of Pride Month's corporate and political influenceHow backlash against woke activism has reshaped public opinionWhy major corporations are becoming more cautious about culture-war politicsThe return of classic entertainment and aspirational heroesWhat the Bud Light controversy taught corporate AmericaThe resurgence of traditional masculinity and femininity in popular cultureThe viral discussion surrounding Penny Lane's Miami Swim Week appearanceThe Charlie Kirk assassination myth and what it reveals about radical online activismWhy a new wave of Americana, patriotism, and common-sense values may be emergingAs the culture war enters a new phase, Sam argues that understanding these shifts is essential for anyone who wants to stay informed about where America is headed next. Is this a lasting cultural realignment—or simply the calm before another wave of activism?Tune in as we explore why the Summer of Americana may be just getting started.☕ Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/samwhitfield

On this episode, we are joined by Jason Albers, an occupational therapist and professional drummer with the band Flatland Cavalry. Jason was also born with a genetic limb difference – monodactyly. He shares with us his experience of growing up with a limb difference, what led him to the field of occupational therapy and how his career shifted to music when the opportunity arose.Guest bio: Jason Albers is a recording artist and songwriter from Nashville, TN, and globally-touring drummer for the ACM-nominated country-Americana band Flatland Cavalry. His mission is to connect his world with yours through the shared experience of being both a patient and occupational therapist.Born in Midland, TX with a rare genetic condition, monodactyly, which left him with single digits on all extremities, Jason has learned to adapt and thrive in both clinical and creative settings. He developed specialized techniques to support his drumming, and now shares those methods with others who have similar limb differences, helping them discover new ways to pursue their passions. After earning his Master's in Occupational Therapy from Texas Tech University, he became a licensed professional and went on to treat patients in Texas and Florida, all while performing more than 100 shows a year with Flatland Cavalry.Beyond his clinical and performance work, Jason is deeply committed to giving back to the medical community. He has volunteered at hand clinics across Texas, regularly speaks with pediatric patients and their parents about living and thriving with limb differences, and has served as a guest speaker for occupational therapy and physical therapy students at Duke University and Texas Tech University.Through both his music and his clinical practice, Jason connects with individuals of all abilities, particularly those with limb differences, encouraging them to break barriers and aim high. His lifelong commitment to understanding human potential bridges the worlds of healthcare, art, and personal empowerment, inspiring audiences to embrace what makes them different and use it as their greatest strength.-The views and opinions expressed in the Hands in Motion podcast are those of the guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of ASHT.

Transmission incoming from the insane world of Ratner's Star, DeLillo's fourth novel, a major change in his fiction and his most difficult text, underappreciated as precedent for his later turns on encyclopedic form in Libra and Underworld. Ratner's also has, though, tons of connections to earlier works like Americana and End Zone. In this episode DDSWTNP celebrate Ratner's fiftieth anniversary with a wholly new re-reading of a book that remains for us hilarious, pleasurable, and a huge reading challenge. We consider how Ratner's Star, like any masterpiece, teaches us how to read its fabulations from its first page on. We examine its relentless juxtaposition of minds and bodies, as well as its dissection of the impulses toward pattern, order, and other “convenient fictions.” We ask what kinds of narrative experimentation with time and perspective DeLillo carries out, especially in the quest for an ultra-logical metalanguage in Part 2. We wonder about how science and math as fields of knowledge and uncertainty relate to DeLillo's later turns to examining history. We do our best to try to understand the relationships of DeLillo's “mohole” physics to Einstein's relativity, and we offer a reading of a Jesuit's interrogation of “red ant metaphysics” and “premature genuflection” that marks a new turn in DeLillo's satires of his Catholic education. We close by disagreeing with a 1976 panning review of the novel as a pale imitation of Pynchon. As we say in the episode, Ratner's fiftieth makes for a great transition into our Summer of Underworld – look for a string of episodes on that big novel from us in the next few months! Enjoy the Ratnerama rendition of our intro music, too. And the rats and the bats and the stars.

Send us Fan MailDonate to the GoFundMe for my feature-length film, The Cabin!Welcome to the third Hidden Track Podcast!The third podcast is a deep dive into something we older generations saw plenty of and never thought would become relics of the past: the telephone booth. From two million booths in 1999 in the United States to fewer than 100,000 today, the telephone booth is a piece of Americana that is quickly fading away. On this new podcast, we look at the history of the phone booth and why these simple pieces of architecture evoke such a strong feeling of nostalgia in those 40 and older.These are short-form shows, clocking in at roughly 10-15 minutes. They will cover a topic or two, likely previously covered on the In My Footsteps Podcast. These are subjects that were part of Top 5's or other list-form segments and deserve a more in-depth look.Enjoy this little podcast snack, and also cast your mind back to the last time you used a telephone booth.
