Today it is an incredibly overstuffed Live Music Wednesday, complete with icons and holidays and spectacle galore
Americana legend Tony Trischka joins us ahead of his show tonight at the Iron Horse in Northampton. The renaissance banjo player has performed with Bela Fleck, Peter Rowan, Darol Anger, and way too many other notables to count, not to mention the bands and ensembles he’s led or been a part of, or the newer generation of players that have grown up listening to his incredibly versatile style, and we’ll get to chat with him about his career, latest album, and the joys of creating tonight's holiday spectacular.
Then in Franklin County, the holidays are bringing the Franklin County Community Chorus together, under the direction of much beloved music director Paul Calcari, for a beautifully eclectic Holiday Concert this Sunday, Dec. 7th. We’ll hear a selection from a number of the chorus members, and hear about the appeal of making a more timeless program that you can see at this show on Sunday.
And Word Nerd Emily Brewster, senior Editor at Merriam Webster runs ragged into a particularity of English that native speakers take for granted as we look at the ending -ed and the many ways and wheres that we pronounce it.
