Carrying on the Family Music Business

By John Walters on Monday, April 15, 2002.

The Makem Brothers are the sons of Tommy Makem, a living legend of Irish music and a resident of New Hampshire. Rory, Conor, and Shane Makem are quickly emerging from their father's shadow with a stripped-down approach to traditional songs and some tight three part harmonies. We talk to them about traditional music in a modern age and sample their new CD, Stand Together. More at www.redbiddy.com

By Dan Gorenstein on Monday, April 15, 2002.

There's an old idea in education- don't just give students facts to memorize, give them experience to use those facts. That's exactly what the high school competition Envirothon does. The program gives students from around the country a real life environmental problem to solve. Coming up with a solution requires students understand both the complexities of science and the politics of natural resource decision making. Some New Hampshire students are taking part in the competition. NHPR's Dan Gorenstein joined them and filed this report.
