A story about an artist, told by a writer and a photographer, all boyhood friends of mine whom I am so happy to see are using their talents to bring beautiful things into the world. Through Kevin Bouldin’s vivid words and Daniel Collin’s communicative images, I was able to catch up with an old friend from boy scouts, Ethan Swiggart. His is a classic tale of lemons and lemonade. I feel so proud to know these guys. I hope you will head over to Nashville Public Radio‘s web site and check it out.

I just found out by a friendly comment on my NPR at EV blog post that the National Public Radio/Marketplace story about English Village aired today in the States. And, some of my interview made the cut! If you’re in America, I might be talking to you through your radio this week! Tune in to your local Public Radio station.

If you haven’t heard it, you can click here to go to the NPR website and listen to the story.

(You will need RealPlayer on your computer to listen to the download. If you don’t have RealPlayer, you can download a free version here.)

If any of you are first-time visitors who googled your way here from the story… welcome! We’re so glad you’re here. Pull up a chair, and stay a while.

We had just gotten the kids started on making their surrealist collages of animals when a young American guy with a big furry boom microphone peeked into our classroom. He was accompanied by a woman from City Hall (our admin building), so I let him in. He asked if he could record some audio of our class working. I obliged as I asked what radio station he was with. He was with NPR/American Public Media, recording for the program Marketplace! After a couple of minutes, they asked if I could step into the hallway while they asked me a few questions about English Village.

Guys, I was interviewed by NPR!

The journalist was Rico Gagliano, and he said that the story should be out pretty soon (maybe a week and a half or so). Click on his name to hear some of his past stories and presumably his English Village story as soon as it airs. I’ll let you know if I hear anything about it. He was around the Village recording all day today, and since the Marketplace stories are pretty short, I may not make the cut. But I was interviewed by NPR!

I was missing my favorite radio programs on NPR just a few days ago. Funny.
