This episode is dedicated to the fun (and frustrations) of old-fashioned ways. Phone books and telephone operators. Card catalogs and reference librarians. Finding water with a divining rod and planting by the signs. Once a standard part of everyday life, these things have all but disappeared from the twenty-first century landscape. This month, the StoryTown Radio Show is filled with old fashioned stories all about the changing times in Appalachia. Joining the cast in this episode all about the “good old days” is musician Adam Bolt of Abingdon, Virginia, playing his own unique brand of country music. This program is sponsored in part by a grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission.
