Toe rings may have to wait for a while. Last Saturday it was 80 degrees. Tomorrow it will be in the mid 40s. For the fishing opener, my grandson Walleye Willie, went to Lake Mille Lacs with his dad and a couple of other guys. They caught over 20 walleyes and Willie landed his personal best, a 25 ½ incher. Picture attached. If you go to Mille Lacs, check out Appeldoorns Sunset Bay Resort.
50 years of broadcasting public radio in Minnesota started with 90.1 KSJR from here in our studio on the third floor of Wimmer Hall. In case you missed it, here is a story done by our very own Cathy Wurzer on the TPT Almanac broadcast May 5th. http://www.tpt.org/almanac/episode/the-early-days-of-mpr-in-collegeville/
The APHC show this week is the second of our two bonus May live broadcasts from our home base in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the Fitzgerald Theater. Joining Chris are musical guests Jim James and Aimee Mann, and comedian Hari Kondabolu. Host, Chris Thile, has a brand-new Song of the Week; our friend Sara Watkins joins as Chris’s duet partner for the first time this season, and she’ll also add a little fiddle to the band, along with Jerry Douglas on Dobro, music director and pianist Rich Dworsky, guitarist Chris Eldridge, Alan Hampton on bass, and drummer Ted Poor; the Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Serena Brook, Tim Russell, and Fred Newman, will amaze and astound on scripts and sounds effects; and they will celebrate a few musician birthdays. Tune in on your local public radio station or watch live (Saturday, 5pm-7pm Central Time) at prairiehome.org!
