Tommy George Banjos
Somerville, TN
August 02, 2012
You know in our travels across the state we've met quite a few folks with passions for making guitars and fiddles and other musical instruments, but we haven't found a banjo maker until Tennessee Crossroads visited a craftsman in Sommerville, TN who not only makes them but is carrying on the art of banjo making with style. Join Nashville Public Television's Tennessee Crossroads to find out more about Tommy George Banjos.

Ace High Ballooning
Franklin, TN
July 19, 2012
The first manned balloon flight took place in France in November, 1783. Now, more than two centuries later the fascination for floating quietly over the landscape, propelled by the wind, still has a special lure. Tennessee Crossroads met up with a Williamson County, TN balloonist who's fascination is sharing that bit of hot air heaven.

Jack’s Bar-B-Que
Nashville, TN
July 12, 2012
In our nearly 25 years of Tennessee Crossroads we've sampled our share of the state's great BBQ offerings. We've found BBQ joints in alleys, along country roads, even in the heart of downtown Nashville. That's where an entrepreneur took a risk years ago that paid off. Nowadays, you won't hear a conversation about BBQ in this town without hearing the name Jack. Join Nashville Public Television's Tennessee Crossroads to find out more about Jack's Bar-B-Que.

Pennington Windsor Chairs
Hendersonville, TN

To some, a chair is just something to sit on but to Gregg Pennington, it's a life's work. Greg found his calling when he first learned to make chairs by hand. He's still doing that beautifully, and is teaching others who want to share his pleasure in his art. Tennessee Crossroads visited Greg Pennington at his Hendersonville, TN workshop to meet this artist who loves to make chairs the old-fashioned way.

Evelyn Johnson, Female Flyer
Morristown, TN
June 21, 2012
When you hear the word pioneer, maybe you think of brave people with wagons making their way through uncharted territory. Tennessee Crossroads met a Morristown, TN woman who has been charting the way for half a century, but her undiscovered land is not through the countryside, but above it. Join Nashville Public Television's Tennessee Crossroads to find out more about Guiness World Record holder Evelyn "Mama Bird" Johnson - Female Flyer.
