Spinning Tales:

This Friday, 6/26, we hear a 4th African story from Kendy. She is moving, "zig-zagging" down the East interior through many national parks and game reserves - finding herself and fellow travelers in some surprising, sometimes funny, animal situations in camp. This is not your usual traveler.
Next week: Kendy and tracking lions.

David, Zack, Mango on board the Shearwater have begun their journey around the world. They have successfully crossed From West Palm Beach, FL to the Bahamas - "Grand Bahama Bank....an immense area of blue blue waters in depths of less than 10 feet......will hopefully pass the position where we aborted our first attempt due to the engine failure." (This quote from their recent posting on www.mangoandme.net -- check it out - includes interactive google earth map!! to help follow along on their journey.)
Up to now we have been in easy contact with David Pollitt and Zack via cell phone while they were docked. Tomorrow on Spinning Tales at around 5pm, now out of cell phone range, we try contact via Satelite (SAT) phone. Will this really work? Tune in to find out and catch up on how their crossing from West Palm Beach, FL to the Bahamas went and where they might be at the time. Plans are to sail to Columbia - still?

Jaime De Angulo story at 5:30. 1949 recordings of Indian Tales, also known as Old Time Tales.

And of course the music bringing to life the stories, harmonies & rythms of people spreading out before us - of their lives brought across the seas and lands to this northern part of the Americas.
