In this broadcast, a conversation with clarinetist and composer Sam Sadigursky was so inspired by the Catskills and Borscht Belt that he created a three-volume work of music about the place called The Solomon Diaries. The albums also feature Nathan Koci on accordion. The discussion focuses on the music, his connection to the region and to Jewish music, and the photographs that informed his creative leap. Plus, selected music from Sadigursky's albums.

Host Justin Maiman, from Cairo, shares his latest inspirations on the "Ginger Radio Hour." The show features music, field recordings, performances, and interviews, primarily with people in and around the Catskill Mountains of New York live from WGXC's Acra studio.
