An unexpected late birthday present and a hell of lot of talent (not mine) went into making this episode. What do you get when you combine my favorite songs of all time and some of my favorite musicians? Well, this episode of Your Stories, apparently!

Seriously, this line-up blows my mind and touches my heart. I realize that most of you out there aren't me, but I think you'll agree this is good rock and roll, uh, music.

Our Cover Story Musicians:
Eric Garneau
Katie Johnston-Smith
Claire Einstein
James Snedeker, Jr.
Sasha Rohret
Dwight Haessler
Bex Brown

I just couldn't be happier with generous and talented folks who contributed to this episode. Working on it has been at least one thing to help pull me through the time known as "quarantine".

I got a little up in my feelings today when I realized that tonight was supposed to be our spring show in Carbondale. Alas, twas not to be. However(!), we've had some truly great submissions for our upcoming episode titled "Together, Apart" that we should have out to you this coming week! Stay tuned and stay well, friends.

26/03/2020

Hello all of you socially isolating folks! While we did have our next show scheduled for April 18th in Carbondale, we have canceled it due to pandemic-related reasons.

But that doesn't mean we're not doing anything! As we're all closed off from our friends, our family, and the social gatherings we are used to, we want to do a show reflecting that and what we're all going through.

And for that, we need your help.

Our theme for this show is going to be "Together, Apart" and it's going to be made up to recorded stories from you as well as our typical musical interludes. Doing the live shows is something about Your Stories South that I really love, but, as that's not a possibility, I still think we need to be able to keep up and in touch with each other as we can.

Stories can be about the pandemic and self-quarantine or anything that might seem related. Perhaps a time in your life you felt isolated for non-world affecting contagion reasons. Typical story lengths run 5-10 minutes and can have any tone you like. Maybe for kicks you could record yourself telling the story to those you're sheltering in with? We'll be bringing all of these together and editing/filtering as appropriate to make the show for you.
