House" |

Length:
25:45 |
Coming up on MainStreet, a conversation with up and coming
young author Silas House. Meet the man that brings Appalachia
to life with a thirty something perspective. From the ripe
old age of 8, Silas knew he wanted to be a writer, yet he
didn’t get much encouragement. So he persevered and
realized that dream some 20 years later with a publication
of his first book, Clay’s Quilt. The book met with
rave reviews and Silas believes that his writing resonates
with the reader because he brings a thirty something, generation
X perspective to Appalachia.
Houses’
second book A Parchment of Leaves was met with equally good
reviews from the public and critics alike. The young author
is currently putting the finishing touches on his third
book tentatively titled The Cold Tattoo which is scheduled
to be out in due for release in late 2004.

We’ll mix a little jazz and swing and travel to Louisville
to meet the members of a Juggernaut Jug band. Then meet
a man who is keeping the beat alive through the river city
drum corps and then it is off to Woodburn for scale model
musical miniatures. Plus stomping at the big top of the
circus comes to town.
On
today’s program we are going to meet some Kentuckians
who make their own kind of music. From jug bands, to drum
corps, to woodworking to animal handling, it is life set
to their own beat. On this edition of MainStreet it is music,
miniatures and mammals.

It
has been a well kept secret that jug band music originated
in Louisville, KY, a traditional musical style from
the 1940s. It is been kept alive by members of the
Juggernaut Jug Band who have been playing together
for the last three decades. They use a variety of
instruments and of course the distinctive jug. A new
Southern perspective, throw in a jug and you have
got one of the oldest styles of music in Kentucky.

Mammoth
Cave National Park is 53 acres of trails and woodlands.
So the thought of a forest fire is not necessarily
a good one – that is changing however, as park
staffers are being trained to embrace a fire as a
good thing that can bring about growth and change
in this international biosphere.

The
Fraizer Arms Museum opened to rave reviews in early
2004. What you may ask is a world class museum dedicated
to historical weaponry doing in Louisville, KY? Well
the answer is really rather simple, you take a local
collector, Ausley Brown Fraizer and set him up with
the Royal Army’s collection from England in
old building in downtown Louisville and there you
can tell the story of history through the weaponry
used to shape it.
