Summer Roses

West Virginia, wild and free,  Mountain roads and history,
Black bear roaming through the pine,  New River rolling through ancient time.
West Virginia, strong and great,  The Mountain State, the Thirty-Fifth State,
From Charleston’s lights to the ridges high,


West Virginia

Are You Dumb?

BYU basketball has reloaded its roster this offseason, adding seven scholarship players through the transfer portal, high school recruiting, international recruiting and a returned missionary to replace the 12 players who departed the program. While the Cougars still need to add a starting center, the talented incoming class has BYU positioned to compete near the top of the Big 12 next season.

Back in 1995, WMMT put together a remarkable—and comprehensive—14-part radio series spotlighting different women writers from all across Appalachia. We called it 'Tell it on the Mountain,' and each episode of the series features extended visits with mountain writers, including readings, interviews, and biographical notes. These shows were produced by then-WMMT producer Maxine Kenny, and the series was hosted by the incomparable Nikki Giovanni.

And this week on Mountain Talk, we hear two episodes from the Tell it on the Mountain series: first, we visit with West Virginia novelist & fiction writer Denise Giardina (author of the novels Storming Heaven, The Unquiet Earth, & more); and then, with the novelist & fiction writer Sharyn McCrumb, of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia (author of the 'Ballad' series of Appalachian-set novels, among many other works).

And for a quick PS: while these episodes were originally just released on cassette tape, Appalshop will be digitally re-releasing this whole series soon. So, keep an ear out! As a whole, it’s an incredible document, and a real treasure trove of readings and reflections from a massively-talented gaggle of mountain writers.

(Music this week includes selections from from Paul David Smith & Will Keys, from the June Appal Records release "Banjer Days"; and from Andrew Boarman, from the June Appal release "Mountain State Music.")

Art of the Sound is a music project born in Ukraine. For me, music has always been more than just sound – it’s art, a true form of expression.

All my life I’ve been passionate about music, and today it has become my salvation – a way to escape and find light amidst the chaos of the world around me.

I don’t limit myself to a single genre. From lo-fi and synth-pop to music made for stories and visuals, I create what feels right in the moment – hoping that the listener can connect and find a piece of themselves in it.

Because in the end, Art of the Sound is exactly that: music as pure art.
