06/20/07 noon Maryland Politics

I took this picture looking east from the top of Federal Hill recently.  Lots of cranes around the harbor, lots of development going on.

The plan for this hour is to talk about development around the city and state, along with other state political issues, with a focus on Maryland’s budget.

We have a group of journalists joining us for the discussion: Charles Robinson, statehouse reporter for MPT’s State Circle, Joanna Sullivan, editor of the Baltimore Business Journal and Blair Lee IV, columnist for The Gazette.

06/20/07 1 pm Cowboy Junkies

 A little bit of radio lingo for you: perf-chat.  That’s when a musician comes into the studio and performs AND chats with the host.  That is what we are going to do on Wednesday with two members of the Cowboy Junkies. 

The Cowboy Junkies made their mark in 1988 with The Trinity Session, which was recorded live in a single day in a church in Toronto.  Now they are out with their 11th studio album, called At the End of Paths Taken.  It’s a rumination on family, on standing in between growing children and aging parents, on marriage, birth, and death.

They’ll be playing at Ramshead Live!on Wednesday night, but you can join us Wednesday at 1 o’clock for a performance and to hear Marc talks with Margot and Michael Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies.
