The one-hour production performed at the McKinney Center in Jonesborough, Tennessee, is filled with tales about goat farmers, Llama Trek guides, blacksmiths, masons, banjo players, cloggers, quilters, balladeers, and other unique trades that were historically practiced (and still are) in this part of the country.\nScenes for the radio show are created from stories of real people in Washington County and East Tennessee, and then woven into a script performed by a cast of local performers, who bring alive the voice of the region.\nJoining the cast this month will be music guests Rheva and Keegan, playing a blend of old time traditional and Celtic music.\nAlso joining the cast is Anne G’Fellers-Mason, Director of the Heritage Alliance, who will share stories from the archives about the historical trades once practiced on Jonesborough’s Historic Main Street.
