These voices express the blues in a deep and truthful way. They touched my heart.”—B. B. King
This week we feature Give My Poor Heart Ease, Voices of the Mississippi Blues. A little visit from William Ferris as he talks about collecting true stories of the blues in fine oral tradition from across the delta. Then we’ll tune in and listen to some of those voice talk to us and tell their own stories.
We’ll rip some of Raymond Atkins words right off the page and read them live about him kinda getting locked into the Ballet with a beer and nowhere else to go.
And it’s a love letter to story in other ways. We’ll feature special spotights on the latest great books in print, share the National Book Women’s Associations recent author picks and new releases, discover the perfect hideaway to finish you new novel (whether your reading one or writing it) and play some of your favorite tunes to set the mood.
Oh, it’s a smorgesboard of book news, voices, and stories you don’t want to miss!
And the great getaway for the week – Montreal, Canada. The streets are full of flowers, the city surrounded by water, the are people friendly and you can get creative and do it on even a writers budget. $-$$. You can ride a bike around the city, visit quaint little shops, grab a great cup of coffee and a roll and watch the people walking by. But first you have to get there. The plane ride from NY is a short hop and your in another country and feeling like you’ve crossed all the way to Europe. If there’s no time or $$$$ to make it to Paris, If you’re a little nervous about traveling as far as Brazil on your own, pack a bag, grab your journal, head to a city just over the big border north and experience a weekend of the other and Get out of our Culture Zone!
