Wake Up & Live - Our Third Anniversary --- 8-10 Central Sat. Mornings

It's been three years since the rain-soaked weekend in early April 2005 when over one hundred folks from around the world (yes, Japan and Canada) joined us to raise the tower for Radio Free Nashville( photos at www.radiofreenashville.org) . Seeds have grown from those rains. "Wake Up & Live" will host four prior guests, seeds of the shift in relation to the New Story, to celebrate our three years in Nashville.

Just after 8:00 Central time I'll speak with Bernie Ellis with Gathering to Save our Democracy (www.votesafetn.org) about events unfolding to bring about verifiable voting. Bernie spearheaded the National Conference in Nashville after the questionable election results two elections ago and has continued to be active in this area. At 8:30 Dorie Bolze, the Executive Director of the Harpeth River Watershed Association (www.harpethriver.org) will join me to cover what's new along the Harpeth River including new kayaking ramps in the future.

At 9:00 Central time, we'll get a laugh out of Susan & Luther Ludwig of Laughter Yoga (www.backintouchwellness.com) . Literally, we'll join one of their laughter groups for some laughs and find out how many groups have sprouted since we spoke a few months ago. They'll be followed around 9:30 by Ellie Morse, the Dickson High senior who started a Schools 4 Schools program at her school to raise money for Uganda student (www.invisiblechildren.com )

Interwoven through the two hours will be poems by Russ Peery (www.russpeery.com) and music by former guests Steve Conn, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Gerry Dignan and Rob Wortzel.
