On Creative Corner, Doreyl’s guest is once again T.J. Holland, who shares some of his thoughts on the Cherokee removal and also discusses the history and mission of the Junaluska Museum in Robbinsville. “Cherokee Maggie” by Blaine Sprouse follows the interview. On Stories of Mountain Folk, Amy continues her conversation with Blake Wilkey, who shares his memories of the doctor who provided medical care to loggers and other people in the Snowbird community. He also talks about meeting his wife and his working life as a truck driver and a carpenter. He concludes the interview by talking about his family. The interview is followed by “Sweet Little Miss Blue Eyes” by David Grisman. On This is My Home, Joe reads “Look to the Signs,” a story by John Parris about traditional weather forecasting.
