30 Fun, Easy, Cambridge-area Stories to Brag About and Impress Your Friends. The Cambridge area has contributed in ways vastly disproportionate to our modest population, and this podcast presents brag-worthy proof. This is a 30-episode podcast; each episode is about 10 minutes; 1 per week for 30 weeks. It's about people and events from our past, people and events that have influenced our community, and in many cases, our country. While most stories are Cambridge-specific (I treat Cambridge, Jackson and White Creek as one place), I also borrow from other close-to-Cambridge communites.Gerry Preece Ciencias Sociales Escritos y Comentarios sobre Viajes

    Episode 4: “Vly” Like an Eagle – or – “Vly” Me to the Moon

    Do you know Cambridge produced a titan of the music business, someone the New York Times called "the dean of the American record industry", someone who was honored with a Grammy Trustees Award, someone who discovered and became dear friends with Hank Williams? . . . It all got started when he began plucking on a jaw harp for local farmers.

    Episode #3: He Showed His Mettle and Earned His Medal When He Saved Uncle Billy’s Bacon

    Know someone from the Pacific Northwest? Want to brag to them about how Cambridge impacted their area?

    We hope to soon visit my wife's family out in Tacoma, Washington. I'm going to have some fun when I get there because I'll absolutely wear them out with this episode and some endless Cambridge-bragging. Tacoma is home to much that is named for the star of this episode, a native of Cambridge, New York. He gives us much to brag about.
