Episode 43 - Harry Barlo
Harry Barlo's story is a classic American story. A kid who grew up singing doo-wop on the streets of Philadelphia and ultimately achieved his dream of performing in Las Vegas.

Episode 38 - Hope Linton
Violinist Hope Linton has been balancing the dynamics of being a musician for most of her life. While growing up, she was a member of a classically-trained ensemble of her and her six siblings, and learned how to negotiate being a part of a musical group where the personal relationships are as complex as the music itself. But despite this musical high-wire act, she has built a very successful career as both a performer and teacher. She has played at the White House and has toured Europe and South America. And her journey is a fascinating one. Join Glenn Barratt and Hope as they trace where her musical path has led her and where it goes from here.

Episode 37 - Ross Bellenoit
Songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and so much more, Ross Bellenoit draws from a lot of musical wells. Jazz, rock, pop, classical and just about every other genre out there. Ross does a casual backstroke through the musical waters that would drown so many others. I guess when you take a kid, who at age 12, both conducted an orchestral piece for a regional symphony and also played the entire guitar part from Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" at his elementary school talent show, his future skies would be limitless. And they are. One of Philly's most in-demand musicians, both live and in the studio, Ross Bellenoit has done it all. And yet, his future musical to-do list is vast. Join us for a trip from the past, present and future with "Little Rolling Thunder." It's quite the journey.
