Our 1791 tour guide, David Robertson, takes us out of Douglas and through Santon to Ballasalla.

Classical music can have a profound effect on our ability to better focus and lengthen our attention spans. Maestro Maull explores how to strengthen your mental muscles with inspiration from reporter Anne Quito and American psychologist Abraham Maslow.

Maestro Maull explains the meaning of “moon tempo” during his performance in The Stephen Foster Story in Kentucky on July 20, 1969, the same date when we first landed on the moon.  You will be surprised to learn the connection!

Maestro Maull has always strongly identified with young chorus students, given he attended St. Peter's Choir School in Philadelphia. In his last visit to The Newark Boys Chorus School in New Jersey, the Maestro provided an in-depth exploration into the various facets of Handel's Musick for the Royal Fireworks using the corresponding Listening Guide.  You won't believe the impact this focused listening experience had on these young "apprentices"!

Ear Worms are snippets of music that continually repeat through one's mind after the music is no longer playing.  We have ALL experienced this phenomenon.  Learn more in this first podcast of our new season!

In the spring of 1861, as the nation balanced on the brink of the Civil War, a farmer from the Hudson Valley brought a pedigreed colt to his new home in the Cowanesque Valley of northern Pennsylvania. What were his intentions for the young stallion? For the next three decades, the stallion was controlled by various members of the Wood family and passed from father to sons. From the Civil War through the Gilded Age and into the era of the Great War, horses sired by the Woods' Hambletonian stallion became four-legged celebrities during the peak of harness racing. The Grand Circuit was the highest level of this American spectator sport before NASCAR, the NFL, NBA or major league baseball. Piecing together public records, news archives, family diaries, scrapbooks, and artifacts, the author reveals the true stories behind the legend of the horse known as "Old Dan". The stallion's offspring were purchased, loved and raced by congressmen, capitalists, and common farmers of the region along the Pennsylvania and New York border. Fully-documented with annotations, details of the Wood family and social history of the region augment this narrative of real horses - from Wall Street to Kentucky and Farmington township - who connected this remote lumber territory to the mainstream of America's journey through the Industrial Age. Author Ellen Williams is a 5th-generation descendant of Oliver L. Wood.

"It's easier to change the world with money...Ideas are out there...the trick is in the execution. It's not always the best technology that works…Be persistent." Julie Lenzer on Green Connections Radio podcast Having a great idea for a new technology or new business model that you think can change the world is terrific.
