This week, celebrated singer/songwriter & hometown humorist Antsy McClain with world renowned harp-guitarist Muriel Anderson recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with Antsy & Muriel. Antsy McClain brings his unique blend of music and “humor with heart” to the stage, combining his original songs with a hilarious slide show, including Antsy's own life observations, social commentary and imaginary sponsors from his home town trailer park of Pine View Heights. As a master storyteller with the likes of PBS, NPR and TEDTalks under his belt, Antsy includes humorous and serious songs in his shows. Songs such as “One Less Trailer Here in Pine View Heights,” My Baby Whistles When She Walks,” and “The Junk Drawer of Your Heart,” are keenly humorous observations about love and loss, while his more serious songs, like “Field Trip,” “I'm Everyone,” or “Falling in Love in America,” are more akin to personal journal entries written in the act of living. It's this tightrope walk between humor and heart that makes Antsy McClain a true original. - http://unhitched.com/antsys-bio/ One of the world's foremost fingerstyle guitarists and harp-guitarists, Muriel Anderson is the first woman to have won the National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship. Her CD “Nightlight Daylight” was chosen as one of the top 10 CDs of the decade by Guitar Player Magazine her “Heartstrings” recording accompanied the astronauts on the space shuttle Discovery. She has performed/recorded with Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Victor Wooten and the Nashville Chamber Orchestra. Her obvious joy of music, humor and her facility across the genres of folk, classical, jazz, bluegrass and international music is revered by guitarists worldwide. An engaging performer, Muriel's unique approach to the instrument virtually transforms the guitar into a lyrical choir, then a marching band, then a Japanese koto, then a Bluegrass band, one minute launching into a Beatles' tune and the next, a Rodrigo concerto. Her video “Why Worry” has garnered a total of over 8 million views. Muriel is host of the renowned Muriel Anderson's ALL STAR GUITAR NIGHT® and founder of the MUSIC FOR LIFE ALLIANCE charity. - http://murielanderson.com/press/bio/ In this week's “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark originals Robert & Mary Gillihan performing the traditional song “Banks of the Ohio,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. Author, folklorist, and songwriter Charley Sandage presents an historical portrait of the people, events, and indomitable spirit of Ozark culture that resulted in the creation of the Ozark Folk Center State Park and its enduring legacy of music and craft. This episode brings us a portrait of the White River Line railroad of the Ozarks, featuring interviews with George Lankford, professor emeritus at Lyon College in Batesville.

Gadberry – Catholic priest, Air Force veteran, and ultra-endurance athlete – to uncover how tragedy, discipline, and devotion shaped his approach to decision-making and leadership.

In this episode we journey to the village of Pope, in the southern tip of Panola County, Mississippi to visit with black coon hunter Rubert Morgan.  At age 74, Morgan has worn many hats; farmer, auto worker, collegiate bull rider, community official and coonhound breed association director to name a few. Mr. Morgan provides an entertaining look at the life of a black kid growing up under segregation but also enjoying his lifelong dream of being in the outdoors hunting with hounds. Steve and Rubert met at the UKC Winter Classic in Batesville, Mississippi several years ago.  Mutual friend, Kimberly Clark of Virginia, also black and also a coon hunter, urged Steve to bring Morgan onto the podcast and the result is an hour and several minutes more of dog talk at its finest. A confessed Bluetick aficionado today, Rubert has enjoyed all breeds through the years beginning with a spotted pup that, as a kid, he crawled under the family home to claim.   The story of Spot and others good hounds through the years, pack the episode and there's even some looks at life as a black man growing up in a world where in many cases, he was the “only one that looked like me” in the crowd.   You'll enjoy this one, guaranteed. We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Alpha Dog Nutrition and Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.  Want to learn more about Alpha Dog Nutrition?
