Our first guest this week will be will be Diane Saliba-Ault, community activist for many years and more recently facilitator for Interplay. Started on the West Coast in the 80's, Interplay now has groups worldwide...including Nashville. Interplay's focus is to help folks (esp. we, adults) rediscover our sense of play. As Diane once said, "the lack of connection is the root of aggression." This is so true. When we're disconnected from our bodies, we mistreat and neglect them.....thus we're more likely to be disconnected from others. Interplay honors our body wisdom and finds fun ways to reconnect us with ourselves and one another. www.interplay.org

Tony will be interviewing the legendary banjo player, Doug Dillard... He is is 1/2 of the Dillards group and was on the Andy Griffith show as Jeb Darlin'... His website can be found at: http://hillbillyhollywood.com/dougdillard

And Cecily Friday joins us for a discussion about those NY Times traitors.

We will be giving away two tickets for the Bill Mahar event at the Ryman on July 8th so tune in and maybe you can win the tickets.

This week we will discuss the "great debate" in Congress this week on the Iraq war. It's clear the Republicans are trying to sit a trap for the Democrats in the upcoming election. Will there be any Democrats with the guts (or gonads) to stand up to the faux patriotism of the Rowe inspired Republican political spin machine or will they revert back to cautious form and try and straddle the fence once more? Tune in and call in (615-662-8229) this Saturday morning. Remember if you live out of our listening area we can be heard on the net at: www.radiofreenashville.orgThis week Cecily Friday is flying high at Bonnaroo and we will call her for a live on-site interview.As usual Tony, Bongo Boy and Dawn (with her musical egg) will provide some live in-sudio music.

This week Wake Up and Live will feature Mike discussing Senator Frist and his sell out to the religious right in what appears to be an attempt to pander to these far right radicals in an attempt to garner their support for a Presidential run in 2008.

Tony will interview the legendary Aashid Himons. This multi-genre recording artist, who is best known as the pioneer of Blu-Reggae, recorded his first space music composition in 1982. Tony and Bongo Boy will provide some live music along the way.

Cecily Friday joins us again to discuss the possibly effects the killing of Terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may have on the Iraq war.
