2010 William who is also a teacher of mortuary sciences gives listeners a detailed and comprehensive explanation of the embalming process and encourages listeners to value their own lives by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and living well with others. About Frank E. Campbell When Frank E. Campbell founded the Frank E. Campbell Burial and Cremation Company in 1898, he changed the way people thought about funeral service. At the time, most funerals were conducted in private homes, but New York was becoming a city of apartment dwellers and they no longer had room to host such large events. He created an atmosphere of peace and beauty with soft lighting, quality furniture, tapestries, potted palms and art objects. In Frank E. Campbell's words; "To create a service so sublimely beautiful, in an atmosphere of such complete harmony as to alleviate the sorrow of parting, is to render a service to mankind." Today Frank E. Campbell is one of the most respected and recognized funeral homes because of its' stellar reputation in dignity care for both the deceased and their families and for being of service to many celebrity clients that include screen icons and heads-of-state.

Hudie Ledbetter was one of the giants of early American music. He was also a pawn in the game of "discovering our roots," brought to New York by the Alan and John Lomax and dressed in prison garb to capture the public's attention. Truth be told, Lead Belly earned the prison stripes - he did hard time at Angola. This RocknRoots edition of Initiative Radio tells the Lead Belly story through his own music, and through influences (Bessie Smith, Alberta Hunter) and contemporary interpreters (Dylan, Taj Mahal). We'll follow Lead Belly's life and times from the hardscrabble beginnings in Texas and Arkansas, through the prison years, then to New York, we'll listen to Van Morrison, Tracy Chapman, Jimmy Lunceford.

is presented by guest hosts Tom Boyd and Ann Sternberg.
