Publisher's Summary: Holding On is a tribute to some of America's most unique characters, people clinging to their extraordinary lifestyles - and philosophies - at all costs. Among the honored: A castle builder; a 40-year veteran Woolworth's lunch-counter waitress; The Brooklyn Elite Checker Club president; and the caretaker of America's only coon-dog graveyard in Vina, Alabama. This compilation of the best of Isay's original National Public Radio® features is hosted by Susan Stamberg. Hear everything from the community of drawling Mississippi Jews to the first jive-talkin' sports DJ, to the world's most determined diarist. There is no narration or commentary - just real people telling powerful stories with poignancy and humor. These one-of-a-kind pieces are audio tributes to America's storytellers, capturing voices which might have otherwise gone unheard. |
