It's a pretty incredible story: two young Mexican guitarists who started out playing thrash metal in their homeland left to settle in Ireland, and there made a name for themselves playing a distinctive brand of fast, highly rhythmic acoustic music inspired by classic rock and jazz fusion. Rodrigo & Gabriela light up the first hour of this week's program, as does another incredible virtuoso with a worldwide following, cellist Yo-Yo Ma. There's also a touch of Celtic music, a famous cinematic love theme, and two late 60's hits by a onetime protegee of Paul McCartney.

When Johnny Cash died in September 2003, the New York Times ran a page-one obituary with a headline referring to Cash as "Country Music Bedrock." In this hour of Nightmix, you'll hear two fine examples of what made the Man in Black so rock-solid for so long. Two other "bedrock" performers of their style of music, jazz, Wes Montgomery and Bill Evans, demonstrate their distinctive styles.

"Green Chucks" talks with two Ohio State University students, Sarah Lenkay and Kristin Arnold, about their experiences at the Ohio Powershift conference. Powershift is an international youth movement to end our nation's dependency on fossil fuels and to promote cleaner energy alternatives such as wind power and solar energy. Sarah talks about what inspired her at the conference and why the Ohio Lieutenant governor was booed by students! Kristin talks about Powershift from an organizer's perspective. She organized a group of students to attend the conference and led small group "breakout" sessions. Both Sarah and Kristin talk about how people can become involved in the Powershift movement in Columbus, Ohio.
