This week, in author Willie Carver, Jr.’s new book, he reconsiders a negative childhood experience with a neighborhood girl who might have just been looking for a friend. Also, a southwestern Virginia community rang the alarm after more and more of its children were diagnosed with cancer. A local journalist is trying to unravel the cause. And, the city of Asheville has a new crusading reporter. He’s a puppet.
Rather than keeping to the ol’ “Eat Better, Work Out More, Read More” New Year’s mantra, why not spice up your resolution routine with “Hear More Rock’n Music?” We here at “Mountain Stage After Midnight” are more than happy to supply such music. Broadcast from 1am-5am Saturday and Sunday mornings here on West Virginia Public Radio, “Mountain Stage After Midnight” takes the best episodes from the show’s 31 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners. Each week we’ll hand-pick two of our favorite episodes that’ll alternate order each night.
Tune in this Saturday January 3 and Sunday January 4 for some rock, pop and folk on “Mountain Stage After Midnight.” First you’ll hear a 2007 show recorded in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with such musical talents as German-born/American-raised singer/songwriter Antje Duvekot, comedian/actor/singer Jeff Daniels, Australian alt-rock group The Cat Empire, folk-rocker Catie Curtis and Tony award-winner Duncan Sheik.
