A.A.R.T.

Abe recounts three precious objects he found along his way, while touring the American South.

These were needles in haystacks, but treasures in Abe's life: An old Methodist hymnal, a VHS tape, and an extremely rare record.

They cost him $3.

In today's Transmission, Abe argues art is not just something a discerning eye beholds, but can usher a transformation in one's very life.
