We met virtually using Zoom.  We had a delightful and interesting conversation on art in Franklin. You might detect that there is a little friendly rivalry going on in their household as Amy is a member of the Cultural District and Jamele is a member of the Cultural Council. No worries, it is all good. We get into a wide ranging discussion on the role of art in the community, the Freedom Team, and a special shout out to 67 Degrees Brewery.

The recording runs about 37 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Amy and Jamele,
