AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #43: THE ROCKY ROAD TO KANSAS
The Rocky Road to Kansas is a show about Kansas, about highways, about travels, small and large. We hear poetry of Alan Ginsberg, and music of Philip Glass, Aaron Copland, Roger Miller, and a major and reflective percussion piece of Robert Moran.
In this episode of American Highways, pianist Guy Livingston takes us through Kansas, and don’t forget the Wizard of Oz, either!
