THE COLOR OF MUSIC WITH HENRY BUTLER & LONNIE HOLLEY
Get out your Crayolas and sketch pads, as we fill in the spectrum of musical colors... from red hot jazz to cool blues. What do we see when we hear music? We dig back into the archives for our epic interview with the late, blind New Orleans piano professor Henry Butlerabout his eclectic musical visions. Then self-taught visual artist Lonnie Holley expands his cosmic imagery into words and music to heal society on what he calls "the mothership"--Earth. Plus, word jazz maestro Ken Nordine narrates the paint palette; Nina Simone plays "Mood Indigo"; George Jones sings "Color of the Blues"; and Los Lobos describe the power of the Lavender Moon.
SONGS AS POEMS; POEMS AS SONGS
We listen for poetry in music and music in poetry, songs as poems and poems as songs with Langston Hughes, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Ken Nordine. Plus, a visit to New York's City Lore with poet-folklorist Steve Zeitlin, who rides the POEMobile to the People's Poetry Gathering and then back to New Orleans to meet Louisiana's poet laureate, Mona Lisa Saloy.

RADIO DAYS GONE BY... AND AHEAD
American Routes is dedicated to radio as a medium, bringing you great vernacular music from across the landscape. We also like to hear the voices of radio's fellow travelers like: the resonant octogenarian, hipster, and "word jazz" man Ken Nordine, up close in his Chicago studio; mystery novelist, songwriter and radio head Kinky Friedman of Texas; St. Louis' Antique Radio Museum -- home to 10,000 old radios -- and the self-proclaimed "radio addict" Jasper Giardina who collects them. That plus a present day music mix designed to glorify the past and future of radio.
