Good evening folks, almost time to celebrate Valentines Day. Hope you all are thinking good things for Monday! This week — from the John S. Glas Fieldhouse in Bemidji, Minnesota — we have a show dedicated to ice fishing. Special guests: Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, jazz guitarist Sam Miltich, and the diva of the Dakotas, vocalist Andra Suchy. Also with us, the Royal Academy of Radio Acting (Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Tom Keith), Richard Dworsky and The Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band, and the latest News from Lake Wobegon. It was February 2011, and this was our first destination travel show, with 600 fans from across the country descending on Minnesota to join us for a live performance of A Prairie Home Companion, plus a weekend’s worth of activities, including ice fishing and campfire songs. www.prairiehome.org/shows/56603.html?Rhonda Vincent was barely five years old when she began performing with her family band, the Sally Mountain Show. She’s been in the spotlight ever since. Named Female Vocalist of the Year multiple times by the International Bluegrass Music Association and was recently inducted into the Grand Old Opry, this ace mandolinist has dozens of albums to her credit, including her latest, Music Is What I See, released in 2021 on the Upper Management label. The Rage (on this broadcast) is: Hunter Berry (fiddle), Brent Burke (Dobro), Mickey Harris (bass), Aaron McDaris (banjo), and Josh Williams (guitar). Andra Suchy spent her childhood on a farm near Mandan, North Dakota, the daughter of two talented singers. By the time she was in grade school, she was traveling around, doing concerts and festivals with her family. She has performed with several groups in the Twin Cities area, and you might have recognized her voice on commercials for White Castle, Target, and more. Sam Miltich is a self-taught jazz guitarist born and raised in the woods of northern Minnesota. Sam burst on the scene in his teens as a young lion of gypsy jazz, joining Paul Mehling’s Hot Club of San Francisco and touring internationally with the Robin Nolan Trio. Sam’s fluid and instinctive sound has graced hundreds of stages, from small towns on the Iron Range to New York’s Lincoln Center. In addition to fronting his own band, the Clearwater Hot Club, Sam records and performs extensively with Minneapolis-based jazz performers Connie Evingson, Charmin Michelle, saxophonist Dave Karr, and many more Twin Cities top jazz artists. |

Take a look in the rundown on how they spelled "Ketchup" as Katchup!! wonder if that was on purpose or a boo boo? When I grew up in south Texas, we got bottles of Catsup. Not sure if that was nationwide or we alone focused on Cats?

Valentine's Day is prone to slip past me - one child's birthday was last week, the Super Bowl is tomorrow, and Valentine's Day is on a Monday when everyone is at work. Easy to forget.
Well, here's a reminder right here on the (former) radio!

As for the ketchup, that's how I say it but I've seen "Catsup" listed as an alternate spelling though I dunno if it is pronounced the same.

I do not understand the appeal of ice fishing and I wouldn't be voluntarily making any trips to Bemidji in the winter. I think that Bemidji may be the place that they have the large statue of Babe the Blue Ox so maybe I would visit in warm weather, though I don't know if that rumor about the mosquito being the state bird is true. Caution is advised.

Hi dw.
The best news I have seen this week is that Anderson Cooper has a new baby. He's taking the week off and John Berman is covering AC360, but Anderson did drop in for a short and very moving piece about his family.
In other news, our daughter Amber has been recruited to a very top secret job with a high profile but top secret (how is that possible) agency in the DC metro area. I don't understand what exactly she will be doing so I can't tell you, but even if I understood, it would probably be one of those things that if I tell you I'd have to kill you.

Sounds like one of the "alphabet agencies" doc. I'm glad she'll be moving up in life.
I guess the appeal of ice fishing is the same as a lot of the appeal of regular fishing. I t gets a guy out of the house! And it's not near as much work as cast and retrieve fishing. Just drop your bait down the hole and kick back.
Whats' new, dw?

Had a busy and productive day so far... ran my wife to her normal Saturday visit with her shut-in Aunt... while I took care of church related tasks. Then I came home and spread some freshly ground mulch, courtesy of a tree trimming company I offered a space to dump their truck periodically. Then I baked 5 loaves of banana walnut bread which will become 10 wrapped gifts as a part of our support for a local elementary school that works with our poorest and neediest kids. Then I cooked a pork stir fry dish to have along with the show! |

Will give my sister a call after the show, today is the day 6 years ago that our Dad passed away suddenly walking in the yard. It's been rough for my sister since my Mom passed as my sister had cared for them for so many years... I think she hasn't found her own life yet. |

Perhaps due to your location, y'all don't fully understand that in those far north places it is incredibly cold in the winter. People that live there think nothing when the day's HIGH temperature is 30 degrees below zero! And then they go out on the ice and sit there freezing their feet while they catch fish that could easily be purchased at the store, or from a professional fisherman? One could get out of the house by going to the neighborhood bar, or the library or even to church; no need to freeze to death.

Well it may not be as cold on the thermometer, but some Florida fishers and hunters do go out into the coldest days to fish and hunt, when indeed they could purchase fish much cheaper, get a butterball turkey.. etc. I think the thrill of the hunt (and maybe catching) is the driving force. |

Well, staying busy will keep you out of trouble, dw. Having your own mulch pile is pretty cool. At one point when we lived down in Jensen I used to get free mulch on the form of old horse bedding from a friend who had horses. It was pretty cool, getting mulch and manure both for free. I used it around our fruit trees. That was before the greening took everything.

It's easy to keep your feet warm enough. It's just whatever a person wants to do. |

When Amber was working as a journalist covering defense and intelligence, she knew those people who do appear on the evening news, had their personal cellphone numbers so she could pressure them for stories, but she wasn't the one on the news. She considered television news for a while but didn't pursue that. And now she is not working as a journalist, got burned out on that. |

I guess we won't have fresh from Florida oranges... too expensive. |

Have you guys actually lived in very cold places? When the air temperature is below zero, it doesn't matter if there is wind or not, it is COLD. And I even like cold weather because it is better for my health, but not below zero.
I suppose that people who grow up in those places get used to it, just like people in the tropics get used to 90+ degrees and 90+ % humidity. I don't go outside in either environment unless I have to.

When my parents first moved to Florida permanently in 1970 there were still some orange groves in the Crescent City area, but they were fading out fast. Now all gone, and even further south.
What is the stated reason for the decreased production? And the real reason, if it's different.

I'm from Illinois, doc. Not the coldest place in the US, but I've been below zero. You just bundle up as much as necessary, to stay out as long as necessary. What's' a bigger PIA is keeping your pipes from freezing up, putting up storm windows. If no one was going to be home for a while during winter, like out of town, Dad always had to drain the toilets and other pipes to keep them from freezing up and bursting. Winter is more work than summer.

What is the stated reason for the decreased production? And the real reason, if it's different. Several reasons. Intermittent freezes, disease. It takes several years for a re-done grove to get productive. Sometimes the kids didn't want to take over a citrus operation the folks had started, so the operation would be taken over by a big citrus company, or plowed under and developed for new housing. Open acreage is increasingly at a premium down here. |

You're right that Illinois gets cold Jay. At one point in my career I had a boss who lived in the Chicago area and we had our annual meeting every January in Itasca. The hotel was maybe 100 yards from the office building and I nearly froze to death walking that 100 yards. Truly if you spilled your hot coffee in would freeze by the time it hit the ground. In such an environment, I cannot see the pleasure in going out on the ice for hours on end for any reason. It was quite similar when I went to college in upstate New York, with "lake effect" wind and snow off Lake Erie, not to mention years in Colorado where at least it was sunny when not snowing, and the snow usually melted quickly.
I have to admit that mild climate is one of the best features of the PNW, but the dark winters bother me. However, our days are now almost 10 hours long, though Seattle has 10 minutes more than we do.
