Irish musicians, and writers, and home makers can all benefit by learning some rules and technical skills—and by allowing a little spontaneity and flexibility. But how much great technique do you need? Does that get in the way of the magic? In this episode, Nathan Gourley, Brendan Mulholland, and Sharon Murphy reflect on the alchemy of order and spontaneity: how rule following and rule breaking can make for a great journey; but how a total lack of plan can derail everything. _________________ For playlists, transcripts, links to videos, companion essays, and to contribute to this project, please head to IrishMusicStories.org ___________________ Thank you to everybody for listening.

Am Morgen des 20. Dezember 2009 geht ein Notruf bei der Polizei von Los Angeles ein. Insgesamt acht Minuten lang fleht die Frau um Hilfe: "meine Tochter ist bewusstlos, bitte kommen Sie schnell. Bitte!" Die Frau am Telefon ist Sharon Murphy, die Mutter von Schauspielerin Brittany Murphy. Kurz zuvor fand Sharon ihre Tochter bewusstlos in der Dusche ihres Anwesens in den Hügeln von Los Angeles. Nach offiziellen Angaben starb Brittany an den Folgen einer akuten Lungenentzündung in Kombination mit Anämie. Der Fall beschäftigt die Öffentlichkeit jedoch noch heute: woran ist Brittany wirklich gestorben? Dazu gibt es viele Theorien: Man vermutet, sie könnte vergiftet worden sein. Doch von wem und warum? Eine andere Theorie geht davon aus, dass Brittany wegen eines Schimmelpilz-Befalls in ihrem Haus starb. Oder waren Drogen im Spiel? Als nur fünf Monate später Brittany's Ehemann Simon Monjack an genau den gleichen Ursachen stirbt, wird der Fall noch mysteriöser. Was hat Simon mit allem zu tun? Und war er wirklich der Mann, für den Brittany ihn hielt?

A few weeks ago, the Bluegrass Community Foundation here in Lexington organizing a city-wide conversation about our vision for our city. Over 100 gatherings across the city sprung up, asking one thing - what sort of Lexington do you want to see? KFTC members here in Central Kentucky hosted a potluck dinner to join the conversation. We also had members host tables in partnership with the NAACP. In this episode, we sit down with three table hosts - Chris Woolery, Sharon Murphy, and Russell Allen, to talk about their experience at the event.

Life insurance! The very word sends shivers of excitement down the spine. OK, maybe not . . . but Sharon Murphy‘s book on the development of the life insurance industry in the United States from its infancy in the early republic through its breakthrough as a mass industry during the Civil War might make you change your mind. Deeply researched but also deeply entertaining (really!), Investing in Life: Insurance in Antebellum America (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010; paperback, 2013) describes how the early pioneers of the insurance industry figured out how to sniff out frauds, figure mortality tables, market themselves to a suspicious population, and tap into middle class hopes and anxieties — especially middle-class Americans reticence about thinking about death (their death, at least).
