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.
Jay's story will air at 4:30pm or thereabouts.

Jaime De Angulo's next Indian Tale comes your way at about 5:30.
And weaving in and out of the stories, as always, is the music-- a continuation of our months-long project of bringing to you the songs, rhythms, and feeling of older music inspired by religious belief and expression. It is the music that has inspired musicians through the decades--and is still heard in today's blues, soul, country, bluegrass, rhythm 'n' blues, jazz, folk, and perhaps even rap.
The program you hear this Friday is a re-broadcast of the December 17th show. Due to the holiday closing of the WMCB studio, this show will also be rebroadcast Sunday, January 2, 2011 at 1-3 PM on WMCB and the web. It will be rebroadcast exclusively on the web on January 1 at 4-6 AM for you Early Birds, and January 3 at 1-3 AM for you Nite Owls! We will return with a live broadcast on January 7th, 2011 to kick off our "Winter Blues" series!! Enjoy the holidays!
