Cathy Gottsch, Ray County Museum director, returns to the podcast studio at the Richmond News/Excelsior Springs Standard offices in Richmond, Mo. Topics she discusses with co-hosts Micah Dillman and Shawn Roney include Halloween, ancestry and recent events staged by the museum.
Notes:
- The name of the Los Lobos album Shawn was trying remember is, indeed, "La Pistola y El Corazon," released in 1988.
- Retired singer Linda Ronstadt has confirmed Mexican ancestry.
- Research shows that Czechs and other European groups also settled in Mexico during the 1800s and are responsible in part for the polka influence on Mexican popular music.
- "Finding Your Roots" was the TV program on which singer-songwriter Roseanne Cash appeared and learned there was no Cherokee heritage in her family line, not "Who Do You Think You Are?"
- The boxing champion Shawn's paternal grandfather fought might've been a flyweight champion, rather than a bantamweight or featherweight champion.
- The U.S. government shutdown ended a few days after the recording of this episode.
