He gives some suggestions for improving your health and fitness as 2014 starts. “Moose” by Banjo Mania follows the interview. On Stories of Mountain Folk, Amy continues her talk with Ruth Ensley Bryson of Cullowhee. This week Ruth shares some stories about her love for square dancing, her youth and her current work as a senior companion, helping local seniors with their needs. The interview is followed by “I’ve Been Everywhere” by the Butterpats. On Coming Around the Mountain, Sean continues his talk with Victoria A. Casey McDonald.
