Apples

The apple trees are heavy with fruit, and soon the roadsides will be replete with profusions of apples that have been mashed under passing truck tires. Every abandoned farm for hundreds of miles around is host to ancient apple trees still churning out long-forgotten varieties. Round the World with Cracklin’ Jane listens to ancient 78 RPM recordings of songs about Apples. We’ll hear apple songs from all over the world, including Poland, France, The Netherlands, Japan, Mexico, Canada and the US, with recordings from 1905 to the early 1950’s. Then, Richard Diamond, Private Detective solves the Stolen Purse case!
