Ben Fraley, part of the faculty at Troy University, joined us this week.  What could have been a pessimistic chat about the rise of adjunct positions proved more positive than anything. His passions for frame drumming and John Luther Adams' Inuksuit are bookends to this episode.

Topics: Inuksuit, various viewpoints on adjunct teaching, frame drumming, MakeMusic.org, from Walking in This World: allocating and budgeting your creative energy
