After each season wrapped — around the Fourth of July — the summer rebroadcast period began. To keep things fresh, the staff cooked up shows combining past shows into themes such as baseball, classical music, Broadway, or simply a location. Here is the first in our summer compilation series from 2011 with bits and pieces from Cincinnati performances. Local boys Jake Speed and the Freddies play the “Queen City Rag,” Howard Levy joins Pat Donohue and The Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band on the “Deep River Blues,” Guy Noir investigates the infamous “Cincinnati Four-Way” (chili and spaghetti combo), and poet laureate emeritus Billy Collins recites “Hangover.” Plus, the Boys of the Lough, Kasey Chambers, and Punch Brothers, and in Lake Wobegon, Margie Krebsbach goes to Florida to visit her parents. www.prairiehome.org/shows/56565.htmlAdditional info on the artists follows. |

Kasey Chambers spent her childhood living in the family camper-van on the Nullarbor Plain, above the southern coast of Australia, where her father worked as a fox hunter. They had no radio or television; their father played country music to them on an acoustic guitar. They put together a family band and toured Australia as the Dead Ringers. Her solo career took off in 1999 with her first recording, called Captain, and since has taken her around the world and brought on acclaim, awards, and a major-label contracts. She resists, a little, being tagged as a country artist, but will allow that her music is “country enough.” Her 2018 release, Campfire, won Traditional Country Album of the Year at the Australian Country Music Awards.
The Boys of the Lough were the first of the full-time professional Celtic bands to make a name on the international scene. After their first tour in 1967, the Boys went on to do countless tours of the U.S., plus Australia, Europe, and Asia. They also released more than two dozen albums, establishing a reputation for first-rate musicianship and technical brilliance. At the same time, they helped to keep the centuries-old music of Ireland and Scotland close to its roots. They play, someone aptly wrote, “music that tastes of itself.” An early review from a 1972 Rolling Stone put it about as well as it has been said since: “… and a quartet of young British instrumentalists and singers set the Saturday night crowd howling and dancing in the full fury of an August thunderstorm with Gaelic tunes played on fiddle, guitar, flute and bodhran.”
Multi-instrumentalist Howard Levy is perhaps best known for developing a fully chromatic harmonica style on a standard 10-hole diatonic instrument. Anyone who’s ever picked up a little Hohner Marine Band can appreciate the feat. The musical adventures of this Chicago-based Grammy winner include journeys into jazz, pop, rock, Latin, classical, folk, blues, country, and more. He has appeared on hundreds of recordings.

In my book, Charlotte is the real Queen City and I had never heard that Cincinnati claimed the same monicker.
Charlotte was so-named after the wife of King George III, who was Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and it is located in Mecklenburg County. I was in the Charlotte when the Brits announced that Prince William and Kate had named their new daughter Charlotte - sounded good to me. I like Charlotte and my dad was born there.
I should be here for the show this afternoon.

Good evening ya'll. I see tonight's show has the Punch Brothers. I wonder if GK winces when his handlers tell him that?

Ok, doc, here we go. I think Cincinnati claimed "Queen City" status for "The West", being such a big city for the Ohio River traffic. Any way, here we are. You doing OK?

Hey DW! Thanks for the opening link and the rundown.
And did you note that GK referred to Punch Brothers as "Chris Thile's new band"?

Hey, DW. You were busy early this morning. Everything going OK? Trying to avoid the heat stroke of Summer in Tallahassee! Still picking a little from my garden and dreaming of the Fall planting! We have some stray cats that are wandering into our yard interfering with our regular stray cats so trying to decide what is the best way to get rid of the interlopers (I would shoot them but the wife says NOOOOO). |

Hi Jay. Yes I am OK. Still not doing much, decided against travel to Nashville for Brandi Carlile and APHC reunion. Still too much airline mess + concerns about large gatherings, especially indoors. Even outdoors, the Nashville arena for Brandi's venue doesn't offer box seats, VIP opportunities or other avenue to lessen exposure. I was OK for 100 - 200 people max at the 50th reunion, but not thousands.

Your wife is correct. Don't they have a TNR (Trap/Neuter/Release-Relocate) program in your area? Or you could DIY and take the feral cats to the local shelter. When we lived in AZ and Johnny the Terrorist Cat was still alive, he had his regular "gang" of neighborhood cats, and probably some where stray, others had homes down the street. He was somewhat offended when Callie the Beagle strayed in WITH her puppies! |

Yeah, doc, I haven't heard any stories, but then I only know one person locally who has flown anywhere. One of the Storytelling friends went up to Philadelphia over the 4th weekend to help her daughter find housing, moving up there for employment. I guess it went alright.

I think most flights are taking off OK, though there are more cancellations and delays, planes are more crowded, and tickets are much more expensive. More hassle than usual.

The neutering is so they don't make more stray cats, the release/relocation is to keep out the bullies, or at least move those bullies elsewhere.
I noticed that PetFinder offers for adoption quite a few "working cats." They are intended for warehouse and barn-type owners in locations where they will be useful for rodent control.

We had plenty of different cucumber pickles Mom made out of the garden, but the little bit of okra we'd have was fried. Good for you, I'm glad your little experiment worked out. That's part of the fun of a garden, trying different things. |

Not that I don't have a weekly refresher/reminder, I don't seem to worry much about Life's Persistent Questions.
I think we've decided that we will move back to the Blue Ridge in a while, and that was always one of my questions.

That's part of the fun of a garden, trying different things. Tallahassee seems to be conducive to okra, peppers, and eggplant. My yellow and zucchini squash have been OK, but not as productive as I hoped. Tomato plants are always a challenge between the hormworms and the fungus and blossom end rot. You can grow them and get some, but I have yet to figure out how to be so blessed by a harvest that I have to give them away! I do have an ongoing experiment with birdseed that was scattered out of the feeders by the birds. The millet sprouted and grew and matured and made heads, which I harvested. Due to a miscalculation on my part, I did not get the seeds out of the husks before my bucket got full of rain water. I poured the rain water off and now, I have a bucket of green shoots of millet! So I will plant them and see what happens! I have some other green plants coming up beneath the bird feeders ... will have to see what grows! |

Yesterday I was attracted to an advertisement about visiting Olympia National Park, so I got lost for an hour just googling all about that area! But we also have Alaska on our bucket list... but we will be in North Carolina in August for sure. |

We might all be eating out of gardens the way things are going. Of course, now we have a smaller place with hardly any room or good exposure for a garden. Might have to get an edible plants book. Probably medicinal too, while I'm at it. |

DW, though I sometimes consider the possibility, I don't do any actual gardening work and my husband wouldn't ever think of it. But we do have lots of volunteer blackberries, enough to make at least a pie or two if I pick them promptly enough before the birds get to them.
Maybe it's Washington, but I don't recall ever needing to grow or buy zucchini because everyone who grows it in their garden has tons to give away. So much that at work, bags of it were left anonymously on your desk.

Probably medicinal too, while I'm at it. I have been fortunate to walk along several hikes with people who know all about wild edibles! I have sampled some "weeds" from my yard and they are indeed edible. I have others that I have not yet tried because of the lack of knowledge about appropriate preparation. I have poke weed growing and some edible gourds. but need to learn to cook them properly. |

Already planning the amendments for the next season! you have long hours of sun in the summer that also helps! My squash and okra can grow an inch a day even in my poor conditions! |

I am always tickled that a search for Washington flights includes arrival in Baltimore too! Not in my opinion. DCA's formal name was always "Washington National Airport" and Washington, DC is the National Capitol, the capitol of all the states, Virginia is one of the states, and anyway it is a stone's throw away from the DC boundary. IAD was added when the air traffic at DCA was maxed out, which required a new airport where there was space for one. Back then we agreed that it wasn't REALLY "Washington, DC area" since it was so far out in the country, nearly in West Virginia. But nowadays Chantilly et al is a close-in suburb. Now Bal'mer, that's another story. Everyone knows that Bal'mer is not really DC area at all. |

Poke was one of those handy-dandy general use plants in the old days, which is basically any time before the Depression/WW2. One of the first green things up in the Spring. Good for worms, herpes.
Like I said, the Old Days.
