| Muriel Anderson to be Guest on Conversation Crossroad Radio Program Award-winning guitarist and harp-guitarist Muriel Anderson will be interviewed by Conversation Crossroad radio program hosts Betty-Lynn and Garrison on March 7th at 7pm EST. Muriel Anderson's obvious joy of music and facility across musical genres is revered by guitarists and audiences worldwide. She is the first woman to have won the National Fingerpicking Guitar Championship, is host of the renowned Muriel Anderson's All Star Guitar Night and founder of the Music for Life Alliance charity. Her music can be heard in Woody Allen's film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona." and her "Heartstrings" recording accompanied the astronauts on the space shuttle Discovery. Now frequently touring with Germany's famed duo, Tierra Negra - their highly recognizable rumba-flamenco music, together with Muriel Anderson's Americana-Bluegrass influence, has been met with great enthusiasm and has been coined "New World Flamenco". Among the many praiseworthy reviews received are: "driving rhythms and experimental spirit to pull together a sonic fiesta" (Acoustic Guitar Magazine), "Ravisihing, captured in the heady swirl of flamenco… The melodie, beckoningly beautiful" (All About Jazz), "vivacious celebration of life through song" (Jazzreview). Conversation Crossroad is hosted by AM news-talk radio veterans Betty-Lynn White and Garrison Leykam. Launched just this past month on Internet-based Blog Talk Radio, Conversation Crossroad has already featured interviews with CNBC anchor and author Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, "Blind Descent" author James M. Tabor, Lisa Kelly from TV's "Ice Road Truckers, " renowned photographer and "America's Next Top Model" judge Nigel Barker, best-seller "Flash Foresight" author Daniel Burrus, New York Times business columnist Joe Nocera and other notable guests.
