Good morning from Collegeville,

When I started working here on the third floor of Wimmer Hall in 1999, Ron Lyschik was serving on our local Regional Dev Advisory Council. He owned the Black & White Café in downtown Little Falls and it was there that I first heard George Maurer, Jeff Engholm and Muggsy performing jazz. It was an open forum and I will never forget the night that a young man sat in the audience with his horn case at his side, patiently waiting to be invited up. Finally, it happened, and he blew us away with his sax.

Now Ron owns Zoomski’s Midtown Café on Broadway and Fifth Street SE in Little Falls and he is back on the air as a sponsor on KNSR 88.9 news. Be sure to stop in for a cup of coffee, latte, breakfast or lunch and say hello to Ron for me.

The APHC show this week is live from the renowned Interlochen Center for The Arts. Special guests include globetrotting vocalist Molly Dean, student musicians; trumpeter Theo Van Dyck and soprano Sage DeAgro-Ruopp and the students and faculty of the Interlochen Arts Camp String Octet. Enjoy the show.

“Time heals all wounds, some just take a little longer.”
