This week's info: This week, we travel to the very heart of Minnesota, revisiting a broadcast from the Ted Mann Concert Hall at the University of Minnesota on January 14, 2006. Luckily, that failing grade in organic chemistry did not disqualify us from performing a live radio show on campus. Featured guests include rising Nashville star Adrienne Young, Bulgarian violin prodigy Bella Hristova, jazz singer Prudence Johnson, and sitting in with the Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band, the maestro, Andy Stein. Also with us, the Royal Academy of Radio Actors: Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Tom Keith. There’s bound to be something you’ll go-pher. Highlights include a duet version of “In My Life,” some Dylan, a gopher tale or two, plus some poetry. www.prairiehome.org/shows/57233.html?

More about this week’s featured guests:
Violinist Bella Hristova was born in Pleven, Bulgaria, to musical parents — her mother was a school choral conductor and piano teacher, her father a composer — and began playing violin when she was six. She came to the United States in 1999, at age 13, and started her studies with Stephen Shipps at the Meadowmount School of Music in New York. That year, she won First Prize at the International Enesco Competition in Bucharest, Romania. One month later, she won the Grand Prize in the Michigan American String Teachers Competition. She continued musical studies with Shipps at the University of Michigan School of Music while completing high school in Ann Arbor. At the International Kocian Competition in the Czech Republic, judges awarded her First Prize in 2000 and the sweep of Grand Prize, European Union Prize, and Barenreiter Prize in 2001. Her repertoire stretches from Bach to the latest contemporary compositions. Favorites include 19th- and 20th-century Russian works.
Adrienne Young was raised in Clearwater, Florida, in a musical family — her grandfather had a bluegrass band; her grandmother played mandolin and banjo, and her mother pursued a career as a country singer. In the late 1990s, she made the move to Nashville to attend Belmont University, then worked temp jobs on Music Row while trying to find her place in the music business. Her career took hold in 2003 when she won first place in MerleFest’s bluegrass songwriting contest. The following year, she released her first album, Plow to the End of the Row.
Prudence Johnson’s long career in music has taken her from honky-tonks to Carnegie Hall, from the theater stage to the Silver Screen (Robert Redford’s A River Runs Through It), from the Midwest to the Middle East. Her dozen-plus album releases include Little Dreamer, a collection of international lullabies, Moon Country, which features the music of Hoagy Carmichael, and S’Gershwin, a collaboration with pianist Dan Chouinard.

I am absorbed in The Football Game likely for the duration: Seahawks at the 49ers for the Wild Card playoff game.
(We all still have Bronco Orange blood, but for now the Broncos are on our personal temporary inured reserve list and our allegiance is assigned to the Seahawks).

If you catch this later, apparently Adrianne Young was a hit at a MerleFest one year ....

I'll catch the show tomorrow.
Disappointing game as the Hawks lost big to 49ers, but really, no surprise. When Russell Wilson was traded away and we were left with only a third string QB Geno Smith and a bunch of rookies, prospects looked dismal - "a rebuilding year." Instead, we got all the way to the play-offs. Geno Smith has turned out to be well deserving of the starting QB role while Wilson has... well, we got rid of him just in time. And that rookie class is going great
I don't know anything about Adrienne Young, and she appears not to be very active in the music business now, but the Chris Austin songwriting award is quite prestigious. It's been awarded yearly at 2003MerleFest, but her win was in 2003 and I didn't start going until we moved to NC in 2009. Her bio says she is from Tallahassee - do you know anything about her dw? And now maybe she's based in Charlottesville, VA - nice town, near my old stomping grounds, and not too far from our NC place. Still, I don't recall seeing her perform.
Jay, I second dw's query. I thought you're supposed to be feeling better and doing better after PT?! Are things OK with your post-op recovery? I thought things were supposed to be back to activity as usual by 2 -3 months out.
