4:35 PM: Bailey White – NPR continues their annual Thanksgiving tradition with storyteller Bailey White’s tale called “A Kind of Love.” This year White writes about two elderly women who live together. The pair gets into trouble one night when they recline in the backyard to look at the full moon and they get stuck. They wind up there all night, rescued by the mailman in the morning. They find the story funny, but a relative gets concerned. Changes come to the women’s lives — and not all of them are welcome in the end.

9 PM The Grass is Bluer TGIB helps us give thanks with Hugh Felt’s thematic blend of bluegrass.
