In this episode of Words & Music, Indianapolis author Susan Neville discusses her most recent collection of fiction stories — “The Town of Whispering Dolls” — and aspects of life in Indiana that inspired her work. This 2020 collection explores with care and detail the beauty, magic, darkness, danger, and depths of love and life that may go unnoticed in what some consider our “flyover state.”
Big Car executive director Jim Walker – himself a writer — talks with Neville. He produced this conversation blended with musical transitions and excerpts read by the author.
Neville, who was born in Indiana and also worked as a writing professor at Butler University, has published six nonfiction books and three short-story collections. Find more about her and her writing at www.susan-neville.com.
This is the fourth installment of Words and Music that previously highlighted Indiana writers Adrian Matejka, Etheridge Knight, and William Gass. In addition to airing on WQRT, Words and Music can also be found on Spotify and other streaming platforms.
Words and Music on WQRT is a series of audio programs highlighting the lives and work of Indiana Writers. The series — produced by Big Car Collaborative and first heard on our FM radio station, 99.1 WQRT and streaming at wqrt.org — is made possible by a grant from Indiana Humanities.
If you’d like to listen any time, the show is available here online as well:

Rumpke Mountain Boys at The Mousetrap
Rumpke Mountain Boys
https://rumpkemountainboys.com
https://facebook.com/RumpkeMountainBoys
Album “In Good Company” on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2OwWOLl
The Rumpke Mountain Boys combine signature vocals, a unique command of string instruments (acoustic guitar, mandolin, upright bass and banjo) and dynamic special effects into a singular musical experience. An emotion filled musical stream of consciousness with no setlist, minimal structure, and intuitive improvisational flow. In this way, they summon the energy of the crowd as their guide in linking just the right music to precise moments in time.
Grateful Dead Hour host David Gans proclaimed, “One of the things I love about the Rumpke Mountain Boys is that there’s a fundamental honesty in their presentation. This is something they share with my other heroes, Donna the Buffalo and the Grateful Dead. They don’t make set lists ahead of time, they don’t rehearse their songs to a fare-thee-well– they perform in real time. All four of them write, which is very important, and they draw songs from a tremendous variety of sources… being a musician is a life-long learning experience, if you’re doing it right, and they are.”
Like playing around a campfire, the Boys take turns calling the next tune, distilling shows from a sea of infinite notes created from years of jamming. Drawing upon a growing catalog of originals and and an eclectic mix of covers, the Rumpke Mountain Boys blend music like a fine Irish whiskey– the result affectionately dubbed Trashgrass. The Boys titled their 2012 album release with the same name, followed by their 2013 release, Moon, which was recorded at the famed Royal Studios in Memphis followed by their current studio release, “High Time, Low Tide”. The band plans to release a double live album in 2018.
The Rumpke Mountain Boys have played festivals from coast to coast to ever growing audiences including Northwest String Summit, John Hartford Memorial Festival, Blue Ox, and Dark Star Orchestra’s own Dark Star Jubilee. They have played with artists such as Leftover Salmon, Yonder Mountain String Band, Dark Star Orchestra, Railroad Earth, Hot Tuna, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, Larry Keel Experience, Kitchen Dwellers, Peter Rowan, Tony Rice, Dave Bromberg, Del McCoury, Leon Russell, and Ralph Stanley all while continuously breaking new ground. All of this interaction and touring has the band firing on all cylinders. Now is the time to see the Rumpke Mountain Boys.
Support TBA!

RiFF RAFF has continued to tour the world to sold out venues running and leaping on stage making music a sport, he took a few years off of music to gather his ideas. In Aptil of 2019 RiFF RAFF released his Official Sophomore album “PiNK PYTH?N” while teaming back up with Derek Allen his long time friend and producer who produced Neon Icon with mad decent & Diplo to restore that same High Quality Level Of Music.
