Inside The Arts: Danny Barker Festival, Big Charity Documentary, Artist Wayne Amedee

This week on Inside the Arts, we remember the late, great jazz guitarist, banjoist, raconteur and band leader, Danny Barker.  Local musicians get together for a Danny Barker birthday tribute. 

Then, what was once a public hospital serving the city's poor is now the subject of an award winning documentary. Producer Ben Johnson, joins us to talk about the film, Big Charity: The Death of America's Oldest Hospital.
 
And, we round out with an emotionally charged exhibit by award winning artist Wayne Amedee.
 
Airs Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. and Thursdays at 8:45 a.m.
