Ohio Resource Center AdLIT In Perspective Magazine Touching Everybody with K…: May 30, 4:20am 1 review education, books, teens, children-s-literature, adolescents
http://www.ohiorc.org/adlit/InPerspective/Issue/2008-05/Article/feature.aspx; This article was written by a good friend of mine.

That is the only way we are going to begin to solve current problems such as violence in the schools and gangs on the streets. Edna Thomas has the same commitment.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=pEBr8u01Pq8: May 24, 3:41pm 2 reviews dancing, folk-music, video, cajun, music-festival
http://video.stumbleupon.com/?p=llmp4qv7qo; Okay, this combines two really fantastic things: Cajun music and the folk festival at Augusta. Davis and Elkins College in the middle of West Virginia has a fantastic festival all summer long where each week is devoted to a different type of music. Cajun, Old Time, Bluegrass, Irish, etc. You learn music during the day and jam all night. The teachers are all people who are real experts in the music--during Cajun week, they bring a lot of folks from Louisiana to be teachers. Anyway, this is a sample from Cajun week--just a taste of a wonderful place and time.

Rounder Records - Welcome: May 24, 3:37pm 2 reviews folk-music
http://www.rounder.com/; Back when I used to buy vinyl records both new and used, I always looked for the Rounder label. Rounder records has preserved a lot of music that would otherwise have been lost and it focuses on real folk music (that is, music you might hear on someone's real back porch). My favorite Rounder record became a CD: Women's Coal Mining Songs.
