In this episode, Sam muses on the notion that while older generations often pass on their magical wisdom to younger generations, younger generations often return the favor, passing wisdom back up the family tree, just when someone might need it. You'll hear Sam's ideas reflected in a story about a recent family reunion talent show. That story serves as a springboard for a tale by Kevin Kling called "Lake," a couple of songs from the great songwriter and storyteller John McCutcheon about parents, children, and teachers, recorded live at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival, and also a great story from Bill Harley about his own kids growing up.
