December 17, 2013 Recently, Amtrak put a very special interactive piano into Chicago Union Station. The piano could "react" to people nearby, and even interact with people who played it (and other instruments)! This is sure to make you smile!

December 16, 2013 We're all familiar with the Christmas tradition of the North American Air Defense (NORAD) folks keeping track of Santa's sleigh on its annual trek from the North Pole on Christmas Eve. Well, wouldn't you know, this year, someone is "offended" by this "tradition." Well, all it takes to get Earl's blood pressure rising is for someone to needlessly complain about something. Listen, as Earl explains what's gotten him hot under the collar here!

The versatile singer seems as comfortable weaving around her jazzy horn ensemble as she does the mandolins and acoustics that make up her best country cuts.
December 12, 2013 Guys, I think you'll agree with Earl on this one: women tend to be MUCH more aware of prices on things than men. Ladies know what an item sold for last week, last month, and probably last year! And they also know what the "sale" price is. Us guys? Most of us couldn't care less. That's the topic of today's comments by Earl Pitts, Uhmerikan! Listen to them here!
