Related entries: Weekend America Online

Each week I get email from listeners trying to find web resources mentioned during the broadcast. In just about all cases, the resources are located on the rundown page just below each story. If you're looking for anything mentioned in past programs, check the archive.

For this week:

Tom Pryor of Global Rhythm magazine brings in the music of Indian slide guitarist Debashish Bhattacharya, Stimmhorn and Simphiwe Dana.

View pictures from the Tex-Mex border frontier taken by Mathew Cowan.

Learn more about the research and technology mentioned in Rick Karr's report on music filtering software.

As we celebrate Poetry Month, read the poetry of Junichi Semitsu, this week's featured poet.

And, send us your stories. As we approach Mother's Day, we want to hear from you. Tell us about your Mother... what impact she made on your life... why you're celbrating Mother's Day next weekend. Share your thoughts with other Weekend America listeners on the blog (post below), or email your comments to the production team.
