Theme:   Jay Ansill- The Two Horizons  -  Origami - Flying Fish

This show was based on an idea from the book "We interrupt this broadcast".
I aired somesound clips of historic American events taken from the moment of their announcement on air, and linked them with contemporary folk musicians works. We will work backwards from last September 11th.

Thanks to Paul Stamler, Alan Edwards, Susan Hanson, Len Holton, Jim Rigby and Delilah FrontalFolk.
