Today we're sharing part 2 of songs inspired by the Minnesota Uprising, and today's songs were birthed in West Virginia, Georgia, and North Carolina, highlighting the heart & spirit threads that knit the diverse regions of our country together with a shared passion and activism. Chris Haddox is a musician, but also an Associate Professor of Sustainable Design at West Virginia University. John McCutcheon is Wisconsin-born, attended college in Minnesota, but has lived in Virginia and then Georgia for some 5 decades. John is amazingly prolific, with more than 45 albums, and amazingly creative, funny, serious, & moving. Our third guest is David Wilcox who found a home for his body, heart, and guitar, in Asheville, NC, while biking the Blue Ridge Mountains. Last week we shared visits and music, with Panka Jane, Anna Fritz, Charlie King, Martin Kerr, and we'll have a 3rd episode with more guests and music about the Minnesota Uprising soon.
