Good morning from Collegeville,
About 70 folks came out in the rain early this morning to attend Chamber Connection in the Alumni Lounge. This is perhaps one of the most successful networking events ever devised. I always enjoy having the opportunity to tell an audience a little something about Minnesota Public Radio and the “News from Collegeville”. Every one gets a chance to introduce themselves and to share a “tag line”. My brand new laptop worked this year and I was able to present a short Power Point on our website advertising opportunities and a two minute video entitled “Rain”. Afterwards, Larry Logeman told me that I had shown only the introduction to a 6 minute YouTube Video. He suggested that I go to YouTube and search for African Rain Song. The group is a Slovenian jazz group, “Aradkiewicz”. It is worth it to take the time to listen, turn up your speakers. If you want me to send the link to you, just ask.
The show this week is a mix of three shows done from the Starlight Theater in Kansas City, Missouri. Guests include Roy Blount Jr., Calvin Trillin, Iris Dement and Jearlyn Steele. I hope to see you at the live show at The Minnesota State Fair, Friday night the fourth of September at 7:45 PM.
