Here’s one from the stack—easygoing and chatty: 1968 In a pumpkin field at Wauconda Apple Orchard with Chris and Jeff (audio drops briefly in spots) 3 min in their own words. So if you’ve got a city type child as most of us have and you’ve never really planted a cornfield or a pumpkin field maybe one of these Sundays very soon now before Halloween you ought to get out into the country this is one of the places where and if you don’t pick your own apples this is a great project because you come in and you either your baskets or they sell you the baskets and then you take off and they show you where to park and they have the ladders and you go up into the trees and you pull all the apples you want and then you take them home and you feel so rich because all of a sudden you’ve got apples and squash and cider in the freezer and and taffy apples this is a ball it’s a good way to spend a Sunday think about it

Vermont in the fall – September 5, 1968

They talk it through in their usual breezy way— Vermont in the fall in their own words. It’s been a long time since we’ve been to Vermont. Well, I’d always like to go but I think this is especially a good time of year because the colors are better in Vermont than they are probably anywhere else in the country except maybe this or maybe Aspen, Colorado. Well all right let’s take a little trip to Vermont then and let’s think of a good spot to stay and maybe do a little vicarious upping and dowing through the good old Vermont hills.

Gaelic Imports – September 8, 1968

They talk it through in their usual breezy way— Gaelic Imports in their own words. We told you about Emmer Morris and his wonderful pasties and all the good food that was kind of on the Gaelic side out in the western part of Chicago. Well, we should sort of edge you over to the bagpipe room and interest you in what they call a practice chanter, which is the instrument that you learn to play bagpipes on. Unlike so many other musical instruments, you can actually learn to play for a small investment of about $12.
