Our Fitzgerald Feb, 21, 2015 broadcast features sizzling vocalist and songwriter Aoife O'Donovan, singer and fiddler Emily Miller, and old-time juke-joint band the Steel City Jug Slammers. Of course, along for the ride: the Royal Academy of Radio Actors (Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman); our pianist and music director Rich Dworsky with The Exchange Street Quartet (drummer Bernie Dresel, bassist Larry Kohut, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and Chris Siebold on guitar); and the News from Lake Wobegon. Highlights include Richard Dworsky’s homage to winter called “Frostbite Blues,” Aoife’s take on “Let’s Have a Party,” Mel’s Big Boy Buffet, a few words of advice from Mom, a check in with Bob, and some talk about winter. Hope this is the correct show: www.prairiehome.org/shows/48441.html

Aoife O’Donovan
Appearing on A Prairie Home Companion over a dozen times, Grammy Award winner Aoife O’Donovan remains one of Garrison’s favorite duet partners. She is cofounder of the bands I’m With Her (with Sara Watkins and Sarah Jarosz) and Crooked Still, and a featured vocalist on the recording The Goat Rodeo Sessions (Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile). Aoife’s latest album, The Age of Apathy, was nominated for a 2023 Grammy.
Emily Miller
From the start, singer and fiddler Emily Miller seemed destined to a career in music. Raised by journalist parents in a home that was always ringing with the sounds of early country and old-time, Emily began performing in the Miller Family Band. These days, you can hear Emily in her country band, the Sweetback Sisters, as well as in a duo with her husband, Jesse Milnes.
Steel City Jug Slammers
The Steel City Jug Slammers are an American jug band from Birmingham, Alabama. They have been featured on the TV show Pit Bulls and Parolees and Louisville, Kentucky’s National Jug Band Jubilee. And in 2015, they won the Minneapolis Battle of the Jug Bands. Hot Butter is the band’s most recent album, released in fall of 2019.

There seems to be some misunderstanding - Pittsburgh is The Steel City, not Birmingham, though they do have the statue of Vulcan and all (at least they used to, haven't been there in years.)

Hi DW! Yup, both yesterday and today - sunny and warm (though to us here, 60 degrees is "warm", just fine with me as it it is over 75 that is hot).

Vulcan is still there, I saw him a couple of years ago. Birmingham is the Pittsburgh of the South. Huge steel mills were there. One is now a national historic place with alternative uses. They have old mine tunnels and such there.

There is still a lot of steel produced in the Pittsburgh area, but no more mills within the city limits. It was perfectly situated in the middle of lots of iron ore and coal, and right on the Three Rivers. Its still HQ of a number of big steel companies, but now its big on tech and biosciences.
I lived and worked there for about 6 years and always felt it was the nicest city I've ever lived in, though the weather leaves a little to be desired.

Vulcan is still there, I saw him a couple of years ago. They have old mine tunnels and such there. In West Virginia one's homeowner's insurance includes an additional mandated coverage for "mine subsidence." There were so many old mine tunnels that they weren't all identified, but I never knew anyone whose house collapsed. We didn't have that on our Pittsburgh area home, which was in a close-in suburb with much better schools for one of our kids with learning disabilities. We lived there during the week and went back to WV for the weekend for a couple years.

Just a frozen one from the store. We like Home Run, it's Chicago style. We tried some different ones when things started going up at the store...Red Baron and some others. They were pretty wretched.

Howard found some frozen brand of pizza that he really likes, I forget the name. I haven't really been big on pizza lately. But they are convenient.

Did I go on a PHC cruise from Ft Lauderdale? I remember going on one out of Tampa, and maybe one other one. I'll have to go find that thread where I kept a list. Most of the PHC cruises were to cold northern places, and the last one - which was cancelled last minute due to Covid - was the Caribbean cruise that didn't happen.
The TMC movie cruises usually d cruise out of south Florida except the last one out of CA which we missed because of Howard's "mini-stroke."

We used to call out to order our pizza, but Covid started and things just got to be a PIA. Tallahassee has a new Food Delivery service that has started up in response to the negative reactions to the big name delivery services that are charging so much more for the food that they deliver and costing restaurants 30% of the selling price plus expecting delivery tips! I live so far out of town no one would deliver food and it would be cold by the time we got it!

What's all the delivery about? Did people get spoiled during the pandemic business?

Many pizza places used to deliver their own pizzas, but you're right dw. Lately many now use the same large commercial companies. OTOH, lots more restaurants offer home delivery of their food now that DoorDash (or whoever). Sometimes you just don't feel like driving to the restaurant to pick up food, especially during Covid.
But we are tired of paying those high delivery prices, except occasionally a Shari's dinner with chocolate cream pie! We missed Pie Day on 3/14 this week, when they offered $3.14 off every pie. I still have a coupon for "Any pie for $10.99" which is better anyway for a chocolate cream pie that costs $16.99.

Apple, maybe, or cherry?

Well I don't know about the overall ratio of delivery to pick up to eating in, but I think that there are lots of folks that just have decided that they would rather let someone else do the cooking and bring it to them! A ton of options for delivery if you are willing to pay the price!

What's all the delivery about? Did people get spoiled during the pandemic business? You bet we ordered home delivery during Covid! I felt I took enough risk by working 40 hours/week seeing patients on the front lines. I chose to avoid additional restaurant exposure. We've not been ordering out much lately, maybe once every month or two, once things opened up some and we had our latest & greatest booster last fall in time for storytelling and Christmas trips. Howard is old and cranky, doesn't like to go out, and I still have MS and I am tired by the end of the day, other times too, unpredictably. Point well-taken about letting someone else do the cooking.

There are lots of marionberry pies in the summer though I don't see actual marionberries for sale. They look like blackberries to me. The county is known for its great berry produce and it's great to head out to the roadside berry stands in the summer. Many offer "Pick your own."
I never heard of marionberrie before we moved here. When I first moved here, there was a mayor of Washington, DC named Marion Berry and I thought it very strange that a small city in the PNW would make a joke about some mayor 3,000 miles away.
