“We’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave.” I don’t remember the name of the singer, but I heard this song a lot when I was young. Last week we were at `The Cabin on Amelia’. We checked in on Sunday at 4 and checked out on the next Sunday at 11am. My niece and her husband live in Phoenix and they purchased the cabin, which is only 5 miles from Glenwood, so that they would have a place to get away from the 110 degree temps in Arizona. They decided to rent it to others on a weekly basis when they were not using it. The cabin has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms plus a great room with `state of the art’ entertainment in case it rains. The beach toys include two kayaks, a canoe, a paddle boat and two paddle boards. It was perfect for Barby and her 10 grandchildren. I even had time to read a book. You can find the details on Facebook, by searching for “The Cabin on Amelia”.

The APHC show this week is a rebroadcast of a show from just a few months ago, in May, from the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Josh Ritter sings “Getting Ready to Get Down” and “Oh Lord (Part Three)”. Jon Batiste performs “New Orleans Blues” and “What a Wonderful World” and Emma Willmann shares a few stories about Maine, roommates, and New York City. Plus Chris Thile debuts “Comey’s Waltz”. Pekka Kuusisto and Eric Jacobsen stop by to play a little Bach, and there will be a word from APHC sponsor Gutenberg Pressed Juice.
