This week Greenfield storyteller Jay Goldspinner returns to Spinning Tales. On past shows Jay has told the traditional stories of different cultures and spun tales full of myth and archetype. This time, though, she shares a remarkable story about her own experiences just this past Thanksgiving. Perhaps, it isn't the usual holiday fare. Yet it reminds us, once again, what is important to so many of us: family, community and deep connection.
Producer and Host Michael Pollitt with Co-producer Lance Smith
Mike Seeger Remembered!

There are not many shows of Spinning Tales From All Walks of Life on which I do not play music by Mr. Seeger or by musicians that he introduced, re-introduced or in some way helped make known to us.
