The days of Summer are fully upon us here in the South USA, and it appears that many across the entire country are experiencing challenging weather as well. The cure for many ailments is to sit back with a cool beverage and listen to some good entertainment, in this case on the radio as replayed on the computer! Join us this week ... we rebroadcast one of our favorite shows, from February 14, 2004, from Spartanburg, South Carolina. It’s a good one — with mandolin virtuoso and bluegrass rebel Sam Bush and the flatpicking guitar legend Doc Watson. Guy Noir works out the mystery of some stolen grits, too. Highlights include “Summertime” and “Milk Cow Blues” from Doc. Watson, “Boogie-Woogie Baby” from Pat Donohue and the Shoe Band, plus a trio of train songs with Doc Watson and Sam Bush. Also, some English Majors, Rhubarb, talk about Rock, and an interview with Barbie after her breakup with Ken. I cannot wait to hear from Barbie since there is a big screen film out now about her! www.prairiehome.org/shows/57313.html |

Sam Bush
Sam Bush made his recording debut, Poor Richard’s Almanac, when he was 17, after holding title as the National Junior Fiddle Champion for three consecutive years. When he was 19, he founded New Grass Revival (NGR), a band that combined a variety of music styles like rock, pop, reggae, jazz, country, and bluegrass for 18 years. NGR released ten albums and disbanded on New Year’s Eve in 1989 by opening for the Grateful Dead. After NGR, Bush led Emmylou Harris’ Grammy-winning Nash Ramblers for five years. Bush, who plays mandolin, fiddle, and guitar, has recorded on albums by Lyle Lovett, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Leftover Salmon, and many others, and he has released over a dozen solo records, winning three Grammy Awards and being inducted into the International Bluegrass Hall of Fame. Bush’s latest release is Radio John: The Songs of John Hartford.
Doc Watson
Born Arthel L. Watson in Deep Gap, North Carolina, Doc Watson first played the banjo, but he picked up the guitar at age 13, and his first recording was 1960’s Old-Time Music at Clarence Ashley’s. The following year he appeared at a concert in New York City sponsored by Friends of Old-Time Music, leading to his first solo concert a year after that. Over his storied career, he played at the Newport Folk Festival and Carnegie Hall, as well as touring worldwide. In 1997, he received the National Medal of Arts from President Clinton. He earned eight Grammy Awards and recorded on hundreds of albums. He passed away in 2012, but his influence lives on with recent tribute recording titled I Am a Pilgrim: Doc Watson at 100, featuring Dolly Parton, Steve Earle, Rosanne Cash, Jerry Douglas, and others.

Hi DW! I'm here, just in time. From Sparkle City (that is what we called Spartanburg, SC when I went to summer camp in NC), with two of my very favoritest!

Aha, Russ did his local research - he learned about Sparkle City very early in his visit, and here in GK's show, Sparkle City is acknowledged quite early.

As to the Undue Fatigue - I had mentioned my problem with this to my new doc and she told me it was OK to double up on my puppy-uppers, but meanwhile she ordered a check of my Vitamin B-12 (cyanocobalamin) level and it is way too low! That may be causing my old Nemesis Mr. Undue Fatigue. I am hoping for a miraculous cure now tht I am on a new regimen, which unfortunately involves shots, but now that I am a grown up I don't cry any more with shots. So I will survive and become an energizer bunny again. Maybe.

Russ has really done his local homework. I could not believe the last time I drove through Sparkle City, which had been a sleepy little burg. Now the interstate becomes an 8 lane super highway as you approach the City, with automobile and aerospace suppliers all over the place!
And this rumor of Greenville, SC? Well I've heard such rumors so those of us who have occasion to spend time in Greenville, NC (home of East Carolina University) know that we have to be very clear about the correct location of Greenville. PS - there is also one in Tennessee, not far from Jonesborough, the capital of the Storytelling Universe, and also the oldest city in the state, AND was designated to become the capital of the independent State of Franklin, had it come to pass.

I don't know, and it is also heretofore unknown to my docs, as I have had several Complete Work-ups for things that might be correlated with B-12 deficiency (though my B-12 was fine back then, it was 6 or 7 years ago since the last round). Maybe by now it is just due to old age leading to poor absorption (hence the need for intramuscular shots not just pills). I'll mention it to my internist at my routine check-up next month, see what he thinks. It was the neurologist who ordered the B-12 and a couple other things. One must observe the politics of two competing systems (the neuro is Out Of Town and not in the same 900# Gorilla system as my PCP). We need good medical care but I we don't want to get shunned. |

Well you should be careful as I understand that a deficiency in B-12 can lead to anemia as your red blood cells need that. Any chance you may have tapeworms? |

I need to make some Rhubarb pie Somehow I have never cared much for rhubarb or rhubarb pie. Somewhere here on this site in one of the threads there is quite a bit of discussion about rhubarb pie. Susan and others had lots of recipe suggestions. Although I checked and learned that even though I haven't seen rhubarb for sale in the supermarket, it is available at the farmers market in town, and also apparently at some of the roadside farm stands out in the county. I got a little bit behind in the show because I put it on hold while Howard had to ask me a bunch or questions about out upcoming trip to Orcas Island and the Dog Sitter situation as well as the Ferry Situation. Oooh, Deep Gap, NC is in my neighborhood. Of course. I knew that, it's why we have MerleFest every year just down the mountain from my home. |

This particular visit is a going-away party for one of Howard's high school buddies because he and his wife are "moving back to America."
Yup 6 or 8 years ago, maybe even a bit longer, they sold their big suburban house of the east side of Lake Washington probably in Issaquah or Bellevue or something, and moved to Orcas and built a house there, planning to live there happily ever after. But the WA State Ferry System can be challenging - not enough employees can be hired so sailings have been more limited, and then there are the usual weather and tidal issues that arise that also necessitate cancellations. So - they are moving back to America (people who live on one of the San Juan Islands often regard themselves as separate from and superior to the rest of the nation. I suppose they are correct about the separate part, I am not convinced about the superior part (in fact I do not believe it) and think it is more an issue of entitlement, but then I don't live on the islands. And when I did, I lived on Whidbey or Fidalgo, where one can also use a bridge to return to the Mainland. Which is what we called the rest of the US - "The Mainland."

Oddly enough, Howard and his friend Barry are both from Syracuse, NY but ended up here in the far northwest corner of the Lower 48. And yet another coincidence, one of my hgh school friends also lives on Orcas Island (we went to high school together in New Orleans), but as my husband doesn't want to be gone away form Jerri the Bernese Mountain Dog for Too Long, I/we won't visit Eric this trip. He was living on Vashon Island when I first got out to Washington the State, then moved to Seattle when he got a new wife, and now he has another new wife and he bought an organic farm on Orcas. Eric is a professional travel writer and here's his website, which will demonstrate that he is quite opinionated, as you can find out if you check the website and subscribe to his news letter. I like Eric quite a bit but there is probably a reason that we were "Official Class Couple" for only a brief period. www.trailnot4sissies.com/"If you know someone who may enjoy my work, please pass it along. And if you no longer want to receive these, drop me a line and presto! Gone. Lifelong journalist and editor Eric Lucas lives on a small farm on an island north of Seattle, where he grows organic hay, garlic, apples and beans.

Amazing, always neat to learn about other places ... there are a few islands off of Florida that have no connecting bridges.. there are ferries and of course private boats.. but it is still a primative existence in some ways |

Well, I think Eric hits only the highlights, no low lights but he is quite a remarkable individual. And since he is an "old boyfriend" and I am not a "Kiss & Tell" type I won't mention any low lights.
I like Eric a lot and really do care about him and admire him. And if we both attended the same class reunion, we would both aggressively vie for the award for "Alum who traveled the farthest to get here." As long as the guy from Kazakistan isn't there, I would win, though Eric would claim I cheated. Me, I say do you mean travel miles or "as the crow flies," and I carry a supply of maps with me at all times, as you never know when thee will be a geography emergency, so I can prove my victory.
A few minutes later than the show but I can attest that there are Episcopalians in South Carolina, quite a few of them, many of them my relatives.

Well about this Baptist business. My alma mater was also the alma mater of Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female physician in the US. And I do believe she was an Episcopalian. Last year at Storytelling I met all three of the McDonogh 3, and Miss Dorothy, the 93 year old mother of one of then three. They were the three 6 year old black girls who first integrated the New Orleans Public Schools in 1961. I bet they were Baptists too, though I suppose a different strand of the Baptist Church family.

I did not keep any significant friends from high school, college or graduate school. Not sure where I failed.. and after two failed marriages, there were others who just dropped off the map so to speak. But I am very happy and feel i am blessed and doing what I should be doing. So there is that ! |
