Comment: The Dusty Show - Hometown - Episode XV
Comment: I went home for the holidays intending to do a big show filled with interviews and locol color. But ... I ended up on the couch with a remote when I wasn't scouring thrift stores and old barns for records. I did conduct a couple of interviews which I managed to arrange into show form. Hope you enjoy it. It's a Hawkeye thing.

A new set begins: Interview With Sam the Mayor/Barber
Comment: Sam's Barber Shop has been there as long as I can remember. Not long ago, Sam's was used as a political litmus test by the Des Moines Register to guage the political climate in Iowa prior to the presidential caucuses. Many famous politicians have passed through his doors including Gary Hart who promised that, if elected, he would make Sam the White House barber!
