Show #400! The Power of Pencils

from The Long Road · host Ron Jones

"You can only generate ideas when you put pencil to paper, brush to canvas... when you actually do something physical." -Twyla TharpThis is episode #400 for The Long Road! I wanted to do a special show for #400, so I'm profiling the family-owned Musgrave Pencil Company in Shelbyville, TN. It's an amazing story of American grit, creativity, and a legacy of quality workmanship. Consider picking up a cool 12-pack of Tennessee Red cedar pencils! They are great pencils and make unique gifts. Reference: Musgrave Pencil Company HistoryPhoto by Ron Jones
