Canadian-born Presbyterian minister James Naismith wrote the rules for basketball as physical education instructor at a Springfield Mass YMCA in 1891. Here he is interviewed shortly before his death by radio personality Gabriel Heatter for the program "We the People," in New York, on Jan. 31, 1939 for station WOR.
Naismith reveals the game was created to keep youths occupied indoors during cold winter days. He augmented the rules to prevent carrying the ball which had led to brutal rugby like on the court violence from 9 member teams. Originally he hung actual spare peach baskets, hence the name "basket ball".
Naismith was eventually hired as a chaplain at The University of Kansas soon after creating the game, and part of his duties included teaching phys ed which eventually evolved into being the obvious choice as the Jayhawk's basketball coach. Despite supposedly "inventing" the game in 1898, he somehow became the only basketball coach with an overall losing team record in the entire history of the Kansas Jayhawks.
This audio was found in the collection of The Library Of Congress by a Kansas University researcher and historian associate professor Michael Zogry and more info on the Naismith legacy can be found here: http://exhibits.lib.ku.edu/exhibits/show/naismith150/collections/radio-interview

Jimmy Dore thinks about shameful way DNC forced an unpopular candidate down voter throats and goes over how voters feel about US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as of September 2016 .
Her ignominious and extraordinarily low 2016 election poll numbers belie how Democrats betrayed and bulldozed living, breathing real working Americans into the pit of despair...
The DNC Elite Betrayed Their Base & Shoved Hillary Clinton Down Voter Throats Even Though No One Trusts Her,
full rant available here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msiBZwqLhzA
Recent polls show Hillary Clinton losing to the racist maniac, bankrupt, lying, cheating, xenophobic billionaire Donald Trump. Another survey about Hillary's trustworthiness showed a majority of Americans have no trust in her ability to be honest. She should be trampling Trump, but can barely maintain traction in the race, or even standing upright.

A news feature from 2014 on America's oldest guitar manufacturer from 2014 featuring CEO and Chairman Chris Martin IV of Martin Guitars discussing their iconic role since his great-great-great-grandfather founded C. F. Martin & Co. Never the cheapest guitars on the rack, Martin guitars, while expensive, are known for their tone, high quality woods and workmanship, and a lifetime guarantee.
In the preface to the 1904 catalog, Frank Henry Martin explained to potential customers of the investment they are making with a Martin instrument, "How to build a guitar to give this tone is not a secret. It takes care and patience. Care in selecting the materials, laying out the proportions, and attending to the details which add to the player’s comfort. Patience in giving the necessary time to finish every part. A good guitar cannot be built for the price of a poor one, but who regrets the extra cost for a good guitar?"
Some of the greatest musicians in contemporary music history have played Martins including iconic and popular performers such as Judy Collins, David Crosby, Neko Case, Steve Miller, Elvis Presley, Stephen Stills, Kurt Cobain, Ry Cooder, Johnny Cash, Joan Baez, John Mayer, The Avett Brothers, Eric Clapton, Gene Autry, Gordon Lightfoot, Eddie Vedder, Roseanne Cash, Willie Nelson, Ed Sheeran, Neil Young, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Hall & Oates, The Louvin Brothers, Woody Guthrie, Jeff Tweedy, Jason Isbell , John Lennon and many more.
