-in this episode, we revisit my 2015 oral history of Cookeville Christian counterculture, Banjo & Bread, with a new interview with the subjects, Calvin & Nelia Kimbrough, as they discuss life at Tennessee Tech & in Cookeville in the 1960s. We also tap a little of the Holy Week/Easter spirit, as well as a nod to the book Southernmost by Silas House & film adaptation of Donald Miller’s Blue Like Jazz, as they, along with the Kimbroughs, were part of the American Mixtape class this past week
