Middlebury College students Tik Root and Paul Rosenfeld set out to meet and talk with people along Vermont’s Route
100, to find out how people in Vermont’s countryside and
small towns are doing these days. All week during Morning Edition, we’ll sample those conversations, and hear what Root and Rosenfeld discovered in their travels.
We asked listeners to tell us a little something about their towns – the people and places that make each village unique. Well, you responded and flooded our email inboxes with suggestions. Our ongoing series pokes around in towns across the state.
In the special series The Fiddling Tradition Vermont musicians talk about how they learned to play the fiddle and keep the legacy alive today.
Listen all this week at 7:55 a.m. during Morning Edition.
