It is Kentucky Crafted II. We are returning to True Kentucky in Glendale, KY with the owner of the Annette Howlett, Owner True Kentucky. We were here several months ago, we’ve come back because we wanted to showcase four more of Kentucky’s wonderful artists and crafts people.

Segment I:

A childhood interest has turned into reality for potter Tommy Clark. Dinosaurs sparked his imagination as a child and continue to spring to life in his pottery creations, aptly called “dinoware.” Our prehistoric journey begins in Campbellsville.

First we travel to Music Row in Nashville to see an aspect of the business you have definitely heard of. We’ll travel back in time to the Outskirts of town and re-visit a Bowling Green group that makes their own brand of music. From Back to Beethoven, Big Band to boogies-woogie, a real life music man marks half a century of making music. And finally we travel to Logan County to learn the story behind a man, his family and their music.

Segment I:
	Randy Wachtler and his team at 615 Music in Nashville have musically scored, popular TV shows and commercials for the last 19 years. They look for what they call the hum factor, to make their musical creations…memorable - you know the kinds of tunes you just can’t get out of your head. Let’s look and listen to how it’s done. www.615Music.com
Segment II:
	In 1995, we introduced you to the Outskirts. Creating original music, at least the kind people are going to pay money to listen to, is very hard. But for a quartet of Bowling Green women, hard work and talent are beginning to pay off. Let’s re-visit the Outskirts.
Segment III:
	Dr. David Livingston embodies the true spirit of the music maker. The veteran musician can play just about any musical instrument, can take you from Back to big band without missing a beat, and ties it all together with a corny joke – perhaps that’s why in these parts – he’s known as “The Music Man.” www.Doc-Livingston.com 270-843-4846
Segment IV:
	John Christopher Knight sings of the simple things in life. Years ago, he and his family abandoned what most consider the normal American lifestyle in favor of one with no electricity, no cars and no indoor plumbing, away from the demands of the modern world. Now, this Logan County, KY family shares bits of their lifestyle through music. www.johnchristopherknight.com
