Episode 9: ...And the Livin' is Easy?

Just as Vermont seems to bypass spring and barrel straight on into summer, so Radio Arts this week skips the last week of class and morphs into finals-week-style programming.


For the last three episodes of RAM -- today's, May 6th's, and May 13th's -- we'll be playing music and taking calls. And, as always, we'll start each show with Liza Sacheli-Lloyd and the arts news.

There may also be a surprise segment or two -- keep your ears open (and properly protected from UV radiation).

-----------------------

This week's track list:

• Arts News with Liza Sacheli-Lloyd
• The Ink Spots - "Mama Don't Allow"*
• Gracie Fields - "Walter, Walter"*
• POEM: Billy Collins - "Workshop"
• Chick Webb Orchestra - "The Dipsy Doodle"*
• POEM: William Blake - "The Question Answered" (read by Robert Pinsky)
• POEM: Sylvia Plath - "Mushrooms"
• POEM: Major Jackson - "Picket Monsters"

All poems found at poets.org, except for "Mushrooms," which came from Salon.com's poetry audio collection.

*Songs that will likely appear in Yellowbrickroad, a horror/thriller film written and directed by Middlebury alumni Andy Mitton and Jesse Holland. Learn more about the movie here.
