I am sending out the Sunday and Tuesday versions of Folk Heroes of the Sound Century which include scenes from our Folk Musical "Traveling Roads- Songs and Stories of Highway 50 through Colorado." In the coming weeks I will have a special guest, who is also on this distribution list. Author and Historian Stephen Petrus, co-author of "Folk City- New York and the American Folk Music Revival," will be on the show. This week's show features Rambling Jack Elliot, Tom Paxton, Rosalie Sorrels, Vince and Kathi De Francis and Pete Seeger. The theme is Topical Songs and they were recorded around the time when the topics were relevant!

I will be working with author Dick Jones, producing the audio book and songs I wrote for "Walking the Same Ground." It has been fun working on Audio Musical Publishing as hybrid literature with musical albums specifically for these projects - including the story of US Hway 50 and the culture it brought across Colorado and coast to coast. In process: is RAB- songs, stories and the Scottish Bard Robert Burns- due to release on January 25, 2027. Audio Musical Publishing version of Robert Louis Stevenson's - The Silverado Squatters about the Nappa Valley in California. Thank you for all your support!
