Get ready for laughter and heartfelt stories with StoryTown Radio Show: Black and White and Shades of Gray. This episode will feature stories that are literally about objects and places that are black and white, like a piano and outer space. We’ll also have stories about situations that turned out to be more complicated than they originally seemed, shades of gray. Join StoryTown as we share regional stories about music teachers, rocket clubs eager to compete with Sputnik, moments from the rich African American history of our area, and much more! The music guest for this production is Junction 4961. This local band is making their Radio Show debut and will be, “Serving up all of your favorite classic rock and blues.”
