On this episode of In Focus Weekend, we take a trip to a library for the blind and check in with, The Alabama Troubadour.<\/p>\n

Karren Pell, author and singer-songwriter, talks with Carolyn Hutcheson, In Focus host, about her career, writing music for her book, “Alabama Troubadour,” featuring songs for communities across Alabama, and the play, “Fair and Tender Ladies.” She will appear September 28 at the New South
