David Abbey was the Director of the New Mexico Legislative Finance Committee for 26 years until his recent retirement. Today, I welcome him to the KSFR studios with his memoir Forty Years in The New Mexico Roundhouse. Respectfully called “the budget genius,” David Abbey served during the administration of seven very different New Mexico governors and in this informal and enjoyable conversation we discuss not only the appropriation of funds but also change, education and next year’s midterm election for Governor.

A joy to be joined today by Erica Elliott, MD, with the third part of her memoir, From Doctor to Healer: The Mountain Lion’s Gift. Fifty years after a Navajo elder’s prophecy that, “…if she survived life-threatening obstacles” she would have “powerful medicine to bring to the people” Dr. Elliott recalls facing some of the most challenging health issues, physical and neurological, which helped to transform her own practice from a mainstream doctor to a true healer and “medical detective.” We touch on everything from environmental medicine to a devastating shattered leg repaired with a toxic metal, to rare brain surgery. Dr. Erica Elliott will be at Collected Works special event Gathering Voices: Stories of Healing at 4:30 on Sunday, November 23rd. www.ericaelliottmd.com

Listeners will especially enjoy their discussion of the songs featured in the program, including two versions of Light One Candle.
