February 24th & 25th, 2012, on The Signal…

A lot of great writers have been late bloomers:  Charles Bukowski wrote his first novel at age 49.  Frank McCourt published his first book at 66.  But Baltimore’s Isaac Rehert has got them all beat.  He’s just published his first book of poetry - at age 90.  Mr. Rehert joins us this week to share some poems from his aptly titled collection, “Renaissance”

We talk to Dr. Donald Kraybill, an expert on Amish society and a key consultant and contributor to a new documentary about the Amish that will air next week on PBS as part of the American Experience series

Plus:  From the “Musicians in their Own Words” series, gypsy jazz guitarist Stephane Wrembell talks about composing the score for the Oscar-nominated Woody Allen film, “Midnight in Paris”
