Dear Friend:
“Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.” Gilda Radner

| | Hello from Kansas City!
Welcome to the fifth issue of the new BIG WEEKLY BLEND Variety Magazine! Covering Big Blend’s most recent articles and podcasts, it’s also a companion publication to our Big Weekly Blend Podcast, with this week’s episode featuring musician Joey Stuckey, the official music ambassador of Macon, Georgia.
From the Price Sculpture Forest in Washington to DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun in Tucson and The Kelpies in Scotland, this issue explores the arts through travel. Summer is road trip season here in the US, and we have two features covering its heritage and culture. Hear author and historian Wes Davis talks about his new book “American Journey,” which shares the epic story of Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and naturalist John Burroughs taking road trips through rural America. And Roger Bell and Arlene Gould give us a recap on the recent annual Jefferson Highway Association conference and sociability caravan in Iowa.
Other highlights in this magazine feature the family business story of Fabrizia Spirits and Baking Company, how Dr. Doug Tallamy is inspiring the next generation of naturalists through his book “Nature’s Best Hope” and the Homegrown National Park movement, and family history research lessons learned from going down the ancestry rabbit hole of America’s “Famous Five.”
