Ethan Uslan, WV-linked musician, played on Prairie Home Companion Oct. 20
Ethan Uslan played on Garrison Keillor’s PBS radio show, “A Prairie Home Companion.” You can listen to it latter here -http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/
He is the son of Niza Uslan, the Young People’s Department Head at Cabell County Public Library. (Thanks to Ralph Oppenheim from Cabell County Public Library for letting me know.) He himself worked in the library at Marshall University. I recently wrote about Mr. Uslan because he performed at the Charlotte Public Libray during a showing of “Tol’able David,” a silent film linked to WV.
He wrote me, “Although I grew up in NJ, my parents moved to Huntington when I was in college. And as a member of the “boomerang” generation, I lived with my parents for several months after graduating college. I actually worked at the library at Marshall University. So although I’m not a true West Virginian, I’m quite familiar with much of the state.”
You can learn more about him on his well-designed website. Here is one thing you will learn - he was the first place winner of the 2007 World Championsip Old-Time Piano Playing Contest ( Peoria, Illinois).
