Charlie and Stover

Today’s episode is a celebration of friendships. You’ll hear about a friendship tested when one of the friends becomes president of a Ricky Nelson fan club in excerpts from “Hello Ricky Nelson, Goodbye Heart” by Barbara McBride-Smith. You’ll hear about an 8-year-old kid and his 80-year-old pal in Michael Reno Harrell’s “Me and Stover.” You’ll hear Sam talk about sneaking into a church dance with his pal, Darren Dibb, and we’ll wrap up with “Yankee Come Home,” a little tune performed by Ed Stivender at the National Storytelling Festival.
