Holy smokes, here we go on a whole new blog that is going to be a LOT of fun on many levels. The blog has a few purposes and missions, with those being to support and promote the "American Barn Stories and Other Tales From the Heartlands" series seen on PBS, make the corresponding website offering info on the series and DVDs and related merchandise available to people at www.americanbarnstories.net, and also to introduce you to a good old farmer friend of the show, Arthur W. Johnson from rural Wisconsin -- he's a show in himself and you'll enjoy getting to know him, guaranteed!

More later on it all, stay tuned -- and thanks for stopping by!
