Kentucky Quilting Workshop And Our Song Of The Week On This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, quilts have been handed down for generations, but the tradition gets a little patchy in some places. In Hazard, Kentucky, Emily Jones Hudson noticed fewer quilters, especially among African Americans. So, she started a quilting workshop to help recapture some history. Folkways Reporter Capri Cafaro brings us this story.

Also, in this show, our Mountain Stage Song of the Week comes from one of the most prominent names in the modern jam band scene, Vince Herman. We listen to “Lost Lover’s Eyes” by the Vince Herman Band, which appeared on Herman’s 2022 solo debut, Enjoy the Ride.

West Virginia Morning is a production of West Virginia Public Broadcasting which is solely responsible for its content.

Support for our news bureaus comes from Shepherd University.

Our Appalachia Health News project is made possible with support from CAMC and Marshall Health.

West Virginia Morning is produced with help from Bill Lynch, Briana Heaney, Caroline MacGregor, Chris Schulz, Curtis Tate, Emily Rice, Eric Douglas, Liz McCormick, and Randy Yohe.
