"America is woven of many strands, I would recognize them and let it so remain.... Our fate is to become one and yet many." -- Ralph Ellison

Each week, Nick Spitzer covers vast musical and cultural ground on American Routes, a public radio program based in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Explore the roots of popular music and popular roots music... on American Routes, from American Public Media.

This Week on American Routes:

August 6 - August 12, 2008
Roadside Attractions

It's summertime and the living's easy. Jump in as we hit the road in search of new faces and places. Head north out of New Orleans, across Lake Pontchartrain, to the Abita Mystery House at UCM Museum in Abita Springs. And much further north, to the Musical Wonder House in Wiscasset, Maine. Plus, a refreshing visit to a local New Orleans favorite, Hansen's Sno-Bliz, servin' up the best sno-cones you've ever tasted.

Web hosting by American Studies at Emory University.
Produced at Basin Street Station in collaboration with University of New Orleans' School of Urban Planning and Regional Studies.

Distributed and co-produced by American Public Media.
