Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Monday, August 12, 2013
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks: the musical instruments that could only be made Ed Stilley. He created his guitars, mandolins and fiddles by hand…and used springs, saw blades and Dixie cups to construct them. We'll hear about a new exhibit of his instruments opening soon at Walton Arts Center and we'll hear a new song written about him, played on two of the instruments he made. Plus crystal Bridges Museum of American Art prepares for the one millionth visit and an update on an ambitious effort by the Old Fort Homeless Coalition.
