Back To School
Back-to-School with music from across the American landscape meant to provoke memories of early grades, high school, and college. Also, a visit to the football locker room and band practice. Nick is kicked out of the Public Radio Honor Society for playing music from class cut-ups and non-conformists like Tom Lehrer, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Thelonius Monk, as well as straight-arrows Doris Day, Ralph Stanley, and the Coasters--all in one show!
