Good morning from Collegeville,

It has been ten years since I started sending these “Friday Notes”. It began by my simply forwarding the note that the Prairie Home Productions folks sent out every week. One Friday, there was no note so I had to go to the APHC website and find out where the show was going to be broadcast from and who the guests would be and then create some “fill” otherwise the note would be too short.

I almost lost my job, because I called the APHC office to inquire as to what had happened to their notice. Duh, never call the APHC production office the day before the live show. In 2008 I had a website created to archive the Friday notes and to promote the business of selling “unique messages” on public radio that would be heard by a “unique audience”. www.garyosberg.com
If fate allows, I plan on doing this note for another ten years.

The APHC show this week is live from The Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul. Special guests include Buddhist inspired folk musician Ellis and men’s choir Cantus. Plus the Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Tim Russell, Sue Scott, Lindsay Marcy and Fred Newman. Enjoy the show. Try the “rush” line sometime. Cheap seats for those that don’t mind standing in line. You may even be able to sit on the stage.
