Good morning from Collegeville,

 “Soaring Turkey Vultures”, it simply does not conjure up the same feelings.  It proves that my readers are a lot smarter than I am.  According to Google, both Bald and Golden eagles are superficially similar to Turkey Vultures.  Eagles fly on flat wings instead of holding their wings “in a dihedral angle” while soaring.  The immature Turkey Vulture has a gray head instead of a red head, for that reason they look a lot like eagles.  The label “vulture” is a PR problem.  Even Snoopy had to deal with the bird, although, I don’t recall that the vulture created by Charles Schultz ever did any soaring.

 The show this week is a sampling of shows from Chicago’s Ravinia Festival.  Guests include Jearlyn Steele singing a tribute to Mahalia Jackson, Peter Ostroushko sitting in with the Milwaukee Mandolin Orchestra plus blues singers Jack Elliot, Suzy Bogguss, Howard Levy and Alice Peacock.  Enjoy the show.  There may still be tickets available to the show next Friday night at The Minnesota State Fair.  Check out Ticketmaster.
