S01E22 - The Picture of Happiness
The Picture of Happiness tells the true story of the discovery of an old photograph that singer-storyteller Brad Hampton finds in his grandmother's basement when he is just twenty-three years old. Hidden away for decades, the photo, taken just before WWII, is of two soldiers sitting together on a picnic blanket. Smiling, with their arms around each other, the two young men are the picture of happiness. Over the course of a funny, moving and intimate hour, Brad makes the connection between his life today and the life his grandfather lived in 1943. (Recorded live Sept 19, 2015)
