  While it might not appear to be the case, musician Ben Folds concedes he wasn’t entirely comfortable playing the piano in front of an orchestra at first. That’s because growing up in North Carolina, playing percussion in orchestras, he never dreamed he’d be the headliner. 
  But several successful albums later, including this year’s Ben Folds Presents: University A Cappella, his latest tour includes a series of performances with some of the nation’s leading orchestras. 
  Folds spoke with Jeffrey Brown at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., at the start of the tour.

  Loretta Lynn is a living legend. From walking around barefoot in clothing repurposed from flour sacks in rural Kentucky to becoming an icon with more awards than any other woman in country music, many may wonder just how Loretta Lynn paved this path for herself. While hard work, natural talent, and having certain people in her life surely contributed to her success, her story is so unique it seems as if it was written by fate.  
  A mother of six and now a grandmother to dozens, Lynn never lost sight of her values or what drove her. She had a calling to relay what was real and a desire to create a secure life for her family. She believes in horoscopes and is proudly an Aries; with her ambition and gifts, she could not be stopped. While Lynn is hesitant to call herself a feminist, her bravery and perseverance opened doors for many more women in country music. She also challenged stereotypes associated with the genre through living her beliefs about tolerance, honesty, and fairness. 
  This biography will explore the meaning and process behind some of her music and how the people and circumstances that shaped her led to her extensive list of awards and accolades. It will also seek to provide insight into how her world view, natural gifts, and personality traits drove her successes.

The authors draw from a rich tapestry of academic research, presenting a compelling narrative that weaves together history, psychology, and economic theory to diagnose the causes of societal anger and propose innovative solutions.

  If you're looking to understand the global atmosphere of anger, its economic underpinnings, and the potential pathways toward a more equitable and peaceful society, this audiobook summary offers a powerful and accessible overview. "Angrynomics" is an essential listen for news enthusiasts, activists, and anyone interested in the direction our world is taking, providing a roadmap for navigating the challenges of the present while laying the groundwork for a more hopeful future​

  If you like your detectives hard-boiled then Sam Spade was your man.   
   
  Originally created by the legendary Dashiell Hammett, Sam Spade’s move from pulp-book thriller to airwave legend seemed an easy journey. 
   
  Sam Spade, played by Howard Duff, was a sharp-talking L. A. based private detective who’s first question usually revolved about how much moola, how much cash, you were carrying. If it was a phone call this was usually accompanied by a desk drawer opening and a liquor bottle being summoned for duty. 
   
  The owner of License number 137596, had a way of not telling the police all the news.  His humor was tongue in cheek and the plots could put a corkscrew to shame.  The characters who came into contact with Sam Spade, Detective were either very glad they had or rather wished they hadn’t.   
   
  If you wanted results in the tightest of corners you had one choice; Sam Spade, Detective.  Let’s see what he’s up to. 
   
  We like to think we always have choices.  Sometimes we only need one.   
   
  Let’s get back and into action with Sam Spade’s next adventure.
