Vashon 250
Tuesday, 1-1:30 PM
The Staten Island Peace Conference - September 11, 1776
British Admiral Lord Howe and Continental Congress representative Benjamine Franklin, John Adams, and Edward Rutledge met to discuss a possible settlement of the emerging American Revolution. The three-hour conference found no agreement and the British resumed their campaign to capture New York City. The conference, although not successful, demonstrated the hopes both sides fostered that the rebellion could be settled and the American Colonies continue to be part of the British Empire. Similar efforts to resolve conflicts at their early stages have occurred frequently in American history and are part of the current conflicts in which we are engaged.

Boogie Back to Texas
Wednesday, 6-7 PM
Hands and Rings
Boogie Back host Geoff Fletcher revisits the last of four shows related to body parts – hands. As he was putting the show together, he noticed a lot of rings, from those adorning the hands to rings or circles of life; both are in the show. Tune in to hear songs about wedding rings from George Jones, The Derailers, Buddy Miller (one of the best titles for a song – Does My Ring Burn Your Finger?) and Roy Orbison. Jerry Jeff and Asleep at the Wheel sing of wheels of different kinds. Jeffrey Martin and Steve Earle have similar negative sentiments about hands on guns, and both Jerry Lee Lewis and Ruthie Foster have a take on the Ring of Fire, very different takes. Other thoughts of hands come from Junior Brown, Townes Van Zandt, Slaid Cleaves and Alejandro Escovedo. Put Your hands together for a great show!
