Tango has its roots in Argentina, but today this dance of love and passion can be found worldwide. Few places outside of Buenos Aires embrace the close embrace like San Francisco, California. On the street, San Franciscans demand their personal space, but at the milonga, distance falls away like the sun setting on the Golden Gate Bridge. Let’s drop in and see if we can pick up a few steps.

Do you like American music? Do you like the Blues? Rock & Roll? Soul? Maybe even a little Country? If you do, then you are going to enjoy a stroll with us down Beale Street, in Memphis, Tennessee—home of Sun Studios, where Elvis himself laid down his first tracks, and Stax records, which recorded the likes of Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, and Wilson Pickett.

Jim White has mastered a genre of his own making, we like to call it “voodoo honky-tonk.” Note that when Jim says “ole”—that’s southern talk for “old.’ And when Jim sings “sho’ is cool”—that’s how some folks in the American south say “sure is cool.”

Jim’s known for writing about bible-thumping rural Florida, but it wasn’t until he headed north that his music started to reflect the place he grew up. His ticket out of town was a call from his sister, who had lined up a job for him as a fashion model!

Talented San Francisco DJ talks about her hometown and how much she’s grown to appreciate it. Often times you have to leave a place to realize how good it really is!

Have you ever known someone who never seemed to be able to keep a job? Everyone loves a funny guy, but not everybody appreciates sarcasm. Let’s drop in on a young New Yorker who, inexplicably, just keeps getting fired.

Luckily, the fundraiser was a big success, and the movie got a lot of great press. Thousands of dollars were raised; WBER got the transmitter and the gear it needed.

When a non-commercial radio station needs gear, and it doesn’t have money in the budget, it must turn to the audience and ask for help. When Tim Beideck heard that WBER’s transmitter urgently needed replacing, he decided to turn the premiere of Drivers Wanted into a fundraiser for the station.

WBER is a radio station in Rochester, New York, in the Northeastern part of the United States. Anyone in the Rochester area can be a DJ on the station, if they are willing to put the time in.

How do you know when it’s finally time to pack up and move on, to just go for it? Some will encourage you, but what if you’re not ready, and fall flat on your face?

Nick is afraid to be seen failing, so he doesn’t try new things, but he’s happy with his lot. Camille is also afraid of failure, but desperately wants to take the leap, if only she can find the courage.

Ironically, it’s much harder for a bowler to knock down a 7-10 split on the second shot, for a spare, than it is to knock down all of the pins at once on the first shot, for a strike.

What on earth is the significance of Lane Number 2? And what’s a “hat trick”? Is your mirror lying to you? Let’s find out.

So what does it mean to be true to yourself? How do we know if we’re in the place that’s right for us, or if we should be seeking out a different destiny? If we can’t ask these questions in a bowling alley, then where?

Man, Camille is a drag! If you don’t want to work at the bowling alley, for god’s sake, leave! There’s always work at the Post Office...
