This week’s compilation comes from memorable moments from our St. Louis broadcasts, with Jearlyn Steele singing the “St. Louis Blues,” Del McCoury and his band playing “Quicksburg Rendezvous,” and the legendary guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli performing Prince with pianist and singer Tony DeSare. Guy Noir chases around after a nefarious baseball player named Louie Spitui, the pastor’s daughter, Erin Bode, sings “Be Still My Soul,” and the story of one naive 13-year-old Wobegonian’s eye-opening train trip to the Gateway City. www.prairiehome.org/shows/56549.html? |

When Del McCoury was growing up in York County, Pennsylvania, he learned music from his mother, Hazel, a church organist who also played guitar, piano and harmonica. And he never missed a chance to tune in to the Grand Ole Opry. But when his older brother bought a 78-rpm record of Flatt and Scruggs, that sealed the deal. Del started playing bluegrass and, a half-century later, has never looked back. In 1963, Bill Monroe asked McCoury to join his band, The Blue Grass Boys. Del played guitar and sang lead vocals with Monroe and traveled with him for a year before quitting the band and getting married. After a brief stint in California with the Golden State Boys, McCoury ended up back in Pennsylvania, working at a sawmill and playing music on weekends. As his boys got older, they began playing with their dad in his band, the Dixie Pals. Ronnie joined the band in 1981 and Rob followed in 1988. The Del McCoury Band formed in the early 1990s. The group has won numerous honors from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA), including being named Entertainer of the Year. His most recent album, Almost Proud, is a collection of songs sent to him over the decades from songwriters around the world — and assembled during his COVID lockdown.
Singer and pianist Tony DeSare and guitar legend Bucky Pizzarelli were born 50 years apart, but in 2002, when the two met at a performance at the historic Apollo Theater, they hit it off and continued to worked together off and on for many years. DeSare's career began while he was still in college. He has played major jazz rooms from Birdland to the Blue Note to the Café Carlyle, and concert halls across the U.S., Australia, and Asia. His most recent project is a series of albums called Song Diaries. At 17, Bucky Pizzarelli joined the Vaughn Monroe dance band. He went on to be a staff musician for NBC and later ABC. In addition to his solo career, he toured with Benny Goodman and played with the biggest names in popular music.
Erin Bode remembers the day her dad, a Lutheran minister, came home and asked if she wanted to join the church's cherub choir. “At five years old, it was one of the biggest thrills of my life,” she says. All through her school years in the Minneapolis suburb of Wayzata, Erin was a self-described “music geek.” “I was the only one,” she recalls, “who was excited when we took field trips to Orchestra Hall!” The family moved to St. Louis when Erin was 15. In high school, she discovered jazz and big-band music and studied trumpet. She took a degree in music from Webster University, and continued to live in the St. Louis area. These days, she appears in clubs and at festivals across the country and beyond. Her most recent album is YourSong, Vol. 1.

I'm tuned in and ready to start at 1500.
Del McCoury was at MerleFest in (I guess, maybe) 2019 on Sunday, they day after he and the band appeared Saturday night on APHC, which also happened to be his 80th birthday. IIRC I had asked Thomas if they wished Del a Happy Birthday.

Well to no one's surprise, a 5:00 pm kick off in August is likely to be interrupted by rain... and showers came on time and caused things to be delayed... uncertain what time they will kick off but I will hang out here and catch some showtime!

I checked back in the PrairieChatter archives and found out that a group of hearty chatters assembled on May 30, 2009 and logged 10 pages of conversations without me! Where have all the chatters gone?

Kind of like my husband's 50th class reunion - we had a memorial session for the 44 (of about 450) class members who were deceased. At the moment I don't feel like going back to see who is missing.

When I went back for one of the milestones (40th I think) only one other person showed up for the afternoon social time. Not sure if anyone else came that night to the "dance" but I know there were a number of graduates that still live in the area.. just had no interest I guess in catching up on the good old days. Our graduating class was only 96... I was 2nd in the class bye a fraction of a point! |

Well, doc, I don't know how many of our class are gone, but I'm betting we have a higher per centage, anyway, gone than Howard's. Or maybe it just seems so because our class was only about 60 or so, coming from three little towns.

Say, doc, before I forget. I understand there's to be a Bluegrass festival in Bellingham next weekend. If you attend be on the lookout for a group called the Kody Norris Show. They have a show from Bristol, VA every Friday noon that I always try to catch, on Bristol TV on the 'net. They're a real throwback; got the colorful outfits, and bright boots, all that stuff. But they're not a parody, they're the real deal with all their music, old fashioned authentic Bluegrass. I don't know anything about your Festival, but the Kody Norriss Show is a lot of fun.

Well it is a compilation show so it may represent slightly different performers each time, I dunno.
Jay, my high school class was only about 100 and we had 30+ from the class, but no formal tally of those who have passed away.
Many/most of them came from out-of-town as probably most of our class no longer lives in New Orleans. Most of us went away to college, since ours was a highly regarded public "magnet school" so many went where they got the best scholarship package, typically highly competitive colleges. Me, since I didn't graduate, no scholarship, just a campus cafeteria job and some loans. Fortunately college wasn't so expensive back then and I was lucky to be accepted at a "good school."

I don't know anything about a Bluegrass Festival here in town, maybe I can Google it. Since the local paper was bought out by a large commercial entity it has become very expensive ($500/year) and not very good. I buy it only on Sunday for $4.00, but coverage is obviously slim. Death of yet another community local news resource to corporate greed. I do pay $23/month for Sunday-only delivery of the Seattle paper with online access to the full week but B'ham is 85 miles north so not much news "local" to our area. And I pay almost $500 for a yearly WSJ subscription, NY Times isn't delivered here so I buy the Sunday paper at the grocery. Rare coverage of Washington the State but good national and international news. Weekly Christian Science Monitor for $15/month. |

I knew the Chatters came together in 2006, after the official Chatterbox site was closed down. I just didn't think you'd been around since 2011, dw. Oh, well.
They were sing "for to Keep it Clean". For a while there I thought they were singing "Fornicator's Dream". Actually, that would work in OK, but not on a family show.

Yeah, doc, it's called the North Cascades Bluegrass Festival. Supposed to be a pretty big deal.

Oooh, ooh! Just looking at the lineup for North Cascades; Saturday on the Access living Showcase is presenting the Prozac Mountain Boys. Now, I bet they're the real deal.

I found it on Google. It's actually in Deming at the National Log Rolling site out in the county but that is certainly do-able, only 12 miles. That's by the Nooksack River where they sustained terrible flood damage last winter. Kody Norris is Friday and Saturday, so I'll likely go to at least one day. Thanks for the heads up!
Maybe it would have been in the paper tomorrow, maybe not.

But Saturday morning at 0900 out in Deming? Not so sue about that, but I bet it wouldn't be too crowded that early so parking and crowds wouldn't be much of a hassle. |

I'm sure there's no shortage of jokes about the Nooksack River. I haven't heard any around here. There's the tribe, the river and the Nooksack Casino - it's a boring everyday thing, especially if one is involved with Natives though I don't know much about that tribe. They probably have closer links with Canadian First Nations and I think it's a small tribe compared to the Lummi, which is closer to Bellingham. |

I'm jealous of my Baby Sister. She's up making the rounds in Central IL, visiting old classmates from Peoria, showing her boyfriend all the sights. Got a text from her, they're in Moline, IL. She has a friend from there, but it also happens to be the Moline Sesquicentennial, and at the time she was listening to Pokey LaFarge getting warmed up. Also, the home of John Deere, so they're all over the place with historical exhibits and snazzy new machinery. That should be quite a get-together, there on the Mississippi.
