There are three parts to this program: The first hour is a live interview with Ginny Holladay, a Sequim poet and songwriter who founded Fabulist Fables, which promotes storytelling in all forms. The second hour is a "typical" NXNW show, with a mix of music.   The third hour features music from performers at The Thing music festival in Port Townsend this weekend.   I got to attend on Frid...
