When a rock and roll band goes out on the road, they often lose track of what day it is, or even what time zone they're in. However, the roots-rock band the Magpies know that whether they're in Texas, Oklahoma or Tennessee, they're always on Eastern Standard Time which is the name of their recent album.

Plus, we turn back the hands of time with a group that's spent nearly a decade keeping people connected to America's musical past.... Roots of American Music. This year the group has stepped it up a notch with the release of their new DVD First Voice that documents the oral history and performances of some 16 Ohio roots artists.
