There's a 30 second ad on the video, but it's worth it for an almost 3 minute piece on the Nashville Public Library's puppeteers and Tom Tichenor as well!
Congrats all around!

The new show's called Rock A Billy Road. It's the story of Three Billy Goats Gruff set to songs by local musicians. It's starring three creations by Tom Tichenor. Tichenor launched a special local tradition in the 1930s.
