(AM) “What happened was I was on this dam just down the road from where we live. It’s a popular swimming spot. It was a little early in the morning and I just got a little too close and fell over the dam. Luckily I just broke my pelvis, but it was an eye-opening experience. It could’ve gone so many ways.

In more modern times immigrant labor came in to help work the farm. “I guess the biggest eye opening

George Olsen has more. “It was a really nice collaboration of an Irish producer in Minnesota, an English producer in Florida and a Brazilian producer here in Brazil and I think it made for an interesting outcome.” … made even more multi-cultural by the fact the performer is a Swansboro native and East Carolina University graduate performing primarily in Scots Gaelic. Jennifer Licko discussing the virtual miles put in producing her latest CD “Sing.” Jennifer has lived a rather peripatetic life since graduating from ECU in 1998… time in Scotland, time here in eastern North Carolina, time in Brazil, time in Minnesota, time back in Brazil as of this date and time. The production of the new CD “Sing” also has that peripatetic motif. The English producer facetimed into a studio in Brazil to produce her vocal tracks with the Brazilian producer wherupon the Irish producer in
