Some great music including "Kiss This" "He Believed", and "Where the Stars and Stripes, and the Eagle Fly". click here to watch video






We are continuing throughout May with new episodes in our daytime programming of Twice Baked with the Kelly Twins and Down the Road with Doc Sanders.

On Memorial Day watch for a special episode of Cruisin': Route 66 as host Michael Wallis introduces us to some of the fascinating people who have dedicated their lives to Route 66, America's Main Street.





For those of you who missed it back in February, on American Journeys on May 19th we will re-air the pilot episode of The Red Road as we introduce you to the remnant band of the Shawnee tribes who stayed behind in Ohio and avoided the Trail of Tears.

Most of us at BlueHighways TV are headed out to New Orleans this weekend for the cable industry's largest annual convention. We have a booth there and besides offering lemonade and cookies and a new compilation CD of BlueHighways TV music, we will be raffling off a Gibson Epiphone guitar as well. For many of us it will be the first time back to New Orleans since Katrina, and for some it will be the first time ever.

We continue to meet with cable TV operators, satellite companies, telephone companies and pretty much any group that offers television channels to the home.

New York City
by Davida Shear
In an earlier column, I mentioned that I had lived in New York City, for many (many) years, residing in the heart of Manhattan in a neighborhood called the Upper West Side. At the time I thought I would never leave such a great, big, fascinating City. But, eventually, a place like New York can take its toll on one's humanity- at least it did for me. When I look back on my journey out of Manhattan and onto the BlueHighways, a key incident stands out in my mind that propelled me into a different, kinder way of life. I would like to share this story with you. read more »

Q&A
Q: I purchased the CD of the "GOOD Will Trio" and love their music. Where can I find more?
A: The only CD the Goodwill Trio ever released was the one BlueHighways produced and released 2 years ago. We recorded more music with the Trio in 2007 prior to the passing of founder Speedy Haworth and we will be releasing a new CD of the Goodwill Trio in the fall in time for Christmas.

Q: I am trying to find a channel where I can get BlueHighways TV. Can you help me? Ann Graham via email
A: Ann, there are several ways to find BlueHigwhays TV. If you go to our "Find Us" (link) page on our website there is a list of cable companies and cities that BlueHighways is available.
