WVU Energy Express on WVPB-TV: Episode 405

Today we meet the WVU Bluegrass Band! Travis Stimeling, professor of musicology and director of the WVU Bluegrass and Old-Time Bands, tells us about the history and true meaning of bluegrass music. Then we meet every member of the band and learn why they started playing music. Then we take a turn to a different type of music and meet the students in the African music and dance ensemble at WVU. Mike Vercelli, director of the world music program, speaks on the importance of having world music opportunities for students in West Virginia. Next, we head to the kitchen with Molly Poffenbarger, WVU Extension Family Nutrition Program health educator, to make fruity cheese roll up snacks. For this recipe, you will need reduced-fat cottage cheese, nuts, tortillas and your choice of fruit.
