I don’t get to many of the Friday morning Chamber Connections, but the CMBA Home Show is one that I never miss. The president of the CMBA this year is Matt Cecko who works with one of our sponsors, Dale Gruber’s Home Check Plus. They have been a local sponsor of A Prairie Home Companion for many years. There are two huge displays, one of which is a patio with all of the best in stone from another one of our sponsors, Borgert Products. If you have never been to a Chamber Connection you won’t know that they take the time for everyone to introduce themselves and end with a tag line or slogan. Tom Albers with Borgert Products has the best, “Stones With Style”. The Home Show opens at noon today.

The APHC show this week is a rebroadcast of the November 12 show at The Academy of Music in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Jason Isbell sings “Something More Than Free” and “Cover Me Up,” Angélique Kidjo gets everyone dancing with “Afirika” and “Orisha,” The Dover Quartet plays Barber’s Adagio for Strings, and Billy Collins reads his poems “On Rhyme” and “Only Child.” Plus: Chris Thile and the band present the Song of the Week, “I Made This for You,” and take on “Blackbird” for our Powdermilk Biscuits Instant Song Request; a message from the new dating app “Hinder”; and our staff critic Bertrand Falstaff Heine (remember, that’s pronounced “hiney”) reviews Philly’s famous cheesesteaks. Tune in on your radio or online.
