The Blues in Memphis
Bonnie Kourvelas takes us on an exclusive tour of the hot spots around the Memphis area that feature blues of the past, present…and possibly the future. Along the way, we’ll search for answers to questions such as, “What’s the state of the blues in Memphis today? Does Beale Street have a lock on the best music? And, what is authentic blues and how did it come to be associated with Memphis?”

The Rescue of Madam Laura
Producers Debi Robertson and Vincent Astor visit Sikeston, Missouri, to meet a man who is restoring a 19th century band organ that his grandfather (Paul Eakins) originally restored in the 1960’s. They delve into the history of the Gay 90’s Village in its heyday in Sikeston, its successor The Gay 90’s Melody Museum, and what has happened to the Paul Eakins band organs since the museums closed and the collection was sold. They’ll also give you the “inside scoop” on how these fascinating machines work.
