Amy opens the show with her story “The Riddle Song,” which recounts her mother’s memories of the day Amy was born and her first experiences as a mother. “Let It Be” accompanies the story, and Doc Watson’s version of “The Riddle Song,” a lullaby that her mother sang to Amy, is featured during the story. On Creative Corner, Doreyl talks once again with Ted White of Buncombe County, who talks about his experiences as a musician and calling square dances, and shares some memories of touring Europe with David Holt. The interview is followed by “Love, Please Come Home” by the Whitewater Bluegrass Co. Amy’s guest on Stories of Mountain Folk is Arnold Ashe of Cullowhee, owner of the Cullowhee Café. Arnold talks about growing up and living in Cullowhee and shares some stories of working life as a logger and trucker before owning the restaurant. “Are You From Dixie?” by the Valley River Boys follows the interview. On This Is My Home, Joe reads “Look to the Signs” by John Parris, about traditional ways of predicting the weather. “Signs of God’s Love” by the Collins Family follows the story. On Down Another Road, an interview with Michele Swicegood from August 17, 2013 is rebroadcast. She and Judy discuss their affection for mountain culture. The interview is followed by “Down South” by Banjo Mania, and the show closes with “Grace” by Children of Zion.
