Welcome back to the Mid Atlantic Historic Walking Tour Podcast.  I want my listeners to know that there is no regular schedule for the publication of this podcast.  New episodes will be posted based on content availability and my time constraints.  I am temporarily refocusing the podcast towards study of the crisis in the Middle East.

I encourage my listeners to be critical thinkers and be wary of what they see, hear, and read in the media.  I am posting the excerpts in this series without expressing any opinion or judgment.  These excerpts are simply items that I have found useful in my study of the issues.  Listeners are encouraged to evaluate them in terms of their own belief systems.

I recently started listening to a talk show on WOR radio called "Lionel".  He is encouraging his listeners to study the complexity of the situation without judging the participants.  His primary message is that terrorism is a relative term depending on the perspective of the individual.  Therefore we should look beyond the archetypes of good and evil and understand all perspectives of the problem.

The following link contains the first hour of his commentary about events in the Middle East when they first started happening.  All of his recent shows are available as a podcast from WOR at http://wor710.com

I think we now can update a famous saying to read: "The podcast is mightier than the sword".

I am also reading a book titled "Inheriting the Holy Land" by Jennifer Miller, in which she discusses her experiences with Seeds of Peace (http://www.seedsofpeace.org),  an organization that helps children and teens of various cultures learn conflict resolution skills.  The website for the book is:  http://inheritingtheholyland.com

Remember: Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.  Appeasement did not work with Hitler.

This podcast contains my reaction to the Dateline NBC show that aired on Sunday evening May 28, 2006.  For more information, visit the following link:

Let us express our gratitude towards those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom by being active and informed citizens who will preserve and ensure the continuation of the human rights and values that our country was founded upon.

Welcome back to the Mid Atlantic Historic Walking Tour Podcast
I had to take a few weeks off to complete my move to Exton Pennsylvania.  So in this podcast, I'll tell you a little more about Bear Delaware.  A lot of towns in Delaware were named after Taverns, so you can imagine the good times that were had at the Bear Tavern and the Red Lion tavern; but today's podcast comes from the Bear Diner on route 40 and SchoolBell Road, where they host the Delaware Accordion Club on the 3rd Sunday of every month.  Check out their website at http://delawareaccordionclub.com

I don't play accordion, but I teamed up with my friend Susan to play some Irish tunes.  In this podcast you'll hear me playing clarinet and recorder on the Dorsetshire hornpipe, Fisher's hornpipe, and the Finnish Polka.  So coming to you almost-live from the Bear Diner, here's a musical podcast you're sure to enjoy!

Dorsetshire Hornpipe and Fisher's Hornpipe were arranged by Simple Gifts Music: http://simplegiftsmusic.com

The Finnish Polka was arranged by Susan Shertok.

Performances by Delaware Accordion Club members can also occasionally be heard on the Scratchy Grooves radio show with Brian Lee on WVUD (The Voice of the University of Delaware) at http://wvud.org

Running time: 6 minutes 30 seconds
