 New this month on BlueHighways On Demand, America's Backroads is featuring a special presentation of a Walden: The Ballad of Thoreau. This
2-act, 4 character play was written by Michael Johnathon of Woodsongs fame and was first seen nationwide this past April in celebration of Earth Day. The play portrays a series of fictional conversations between Henry David Thoreau and
Ralph Waldo Emerson set during the final two days Thoreau spent in his cabin before leaving Walden Pond in 1847. Thoreau is considered the father of environmentalism.
 Also new this month is a new episode of Appalachian Highways which features part 2 of a documentary exploring the ethnic diversity of the
Appalachian region and the personal choices individuals make to stay, to leave, and to come back.
Want to hear some good ol' rock-n-roll? There's the American Jukebox Theater with some great hits like "Good Golly Miss Molly", "Johnny B. Goode" and a medley of Beach Boys music.

Old Time Radio, Gone But Not Forgotten
by Stan Hitchcock
 I really miss old time radio. From the years of the 40's when Mom and Dad and I would sit in the living room of our farm house in the Ozark mountains,
logs blazing and popping in the fireplace, wind howling outside on a cold winters night and the big old console radio bringing the world into our home. Fibber McGee and Molly, Lum and Abner, Abbott and Costello, Jack Benny, Bob Hope, The
Shadow, Suspense, Lux Theater, The Lone Ranger, Dick Tracy, Superman and , of course, The Grand Ole Opry, Midwestern Hayride, WLS Barndance and Renfro Valley Barndance. Now these weren't just passing programs, these were part of the
family lifestyle that we lived.

Still Feelin' Fine
by Bob Bilyeu
 Mosie Lister is one of gospel music's greatest writers. He started writing songs seventy years ago, and is still writing at the top of his artistry.
One of his best is a song called "Where No One Stands Alone" that the group I was in did the backup work for Stan Hitchcock for his first album back in 1960. That was one of the many outstanding songs Lister has written over the years,
songs such as "'Til the Storm Passes By," "Goodbye World, Goodbye," "How Long Has it Been?" "Then I Met the Master," and "I've Been Changed." Even Elvis recorded on of his songs, "His Hand in Mine" which became the album title.
