Welcome to the 9th month of the year, and a time historically when kids dreaded going back to school at the end of the "Summer". It also reflects a time set aside to honor labor. President Joe Biden in his proclamation concluded: "On Labor Day, we stand in solidarity with all the workers who lift our Nation to new heights and all the labor unions who give all workers power and voice. May we continue working to restore the American Dream for every person willing to work hard in our Nation by embracing what has always been the foundation of our country’s success: investing in America and American workers." For tonight's show, we’ve got a blue-ribbon winner from the Grandstand of the Minnesota State Fair originally recorded on Sept 2, 2006. Highlights include Garrison’s talk about Labor Day and the end of summer, his tender duet with Becky Schlegel on “If Teardrops Were Pennies,” and the Del McCoury band with “Five Flat Rocks” and “Led by the Master’s Hand.” The Tommy Mischke Band adds flavor to “Back to the Water,” plus some sound effects fun, a cheese curd tasting contest, words from a few sponsors, the News from Lake Wobegon, and the finale sing-along on “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Special Note: This is the full show version from the Friday night concert show (2 hours and 51 minutes). www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNdHA772_5E(the link is on YouTube and not the normal PHC web site)

Tonights Guests"
The Del McCoury Band
The Del McCoury Band is led by Del McCoury, who’s been playing bluegrass for more than six decades. McCoury spent most of his youth in York County, Pennsylvania, and learned music from his mother, Hazel, a church organist who also played guitar, piano, and harmonica. In his teenage years, he and his older brother played together in a church quartet. That led Del to a job picking banjo for a local bluegrass band that played on a Pennsylvania radio station, which led to appearances in the late 1950s and early ’60s with groups like the Blue Ridge Ramblers and the Virginia Playboys. It wasn’t long before he met Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass, who asked McCoury to play in his band, The Blue Grass Boys. McCoury played guitar and sang lead vocals with The Blue Grass Boys and traveled with them for a year before quitting the band and getting married. He ended up back in Pennsylvania, working at a sawmill and playing music on weekends. As his sons got older, they began playing in their dad’s band. Ronnie joined the band in 1981 and Rob followed in 1987. In the early ’90s, this five-person band was formed. The Del McCoury Band was named Entertainers of the Year nine times by the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA), and in won a Grammy Award for their 2013 album, The Streets of Baltimore.
Becky Schlegel
When a college friend gave Becky Schlegel a couple of Reno and Smiley albums, the die was cast: She was sold on bluegrass. She left her South Dakota home, moved to Minnesota, and became a favorite on the Upper Midwest music scene — named Bluegrass/Old-Time Artist of the Year at the Minnesota Music Awards four years running. After living in Nashville for several years, she headed back to Minnesota. She continues to record, paint, and perform.
Tommy Mischke
It didn’t take much back in the ’80s to get a twentysomething Tommy Mischke hooked. On a whim, the young freelance writer and delivery van driver put a quarter in a pay phone and called in to a Twin Cities radio station. A few seconds of airtime proved so alluring that Mischke continued calling for the next year. The staff of Don Vogel’s KSTP radio show dubbed him the “Phantom Caller,” and six years later he was finally hired as a regular on Vogel’s program. In 1994, the station gave Mischke his own nighttime show, The Mischke Broadcast. Mischke was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota. As a teenager, he honed his writing chops by penning articles for the community newspaper his dad owned. The kid who was voted “best sense of humor” at Highland Park High went on to study journalism in college, but he soon found that writing didn’t necessarily make for a lucrative living. He spent some time traveling around, usually hopping freights, and wound up living in Butte, Montana. But he missed Minnesota, so he returned to St. Paul, where the radio venture began.
Tommy Mischke’s new book will be available in October, 2023. Winter's Song celebrates the intimate and intense relationship Americans living in the northern Midwest have with winter. The season is often viewed as an inhospitable time of year, accompanied by yearnings to fly south, yet Mischke invites us to view winter through the rich and varied lives of the hearty Northerners who have come to accept the season's extraordinary presentation-its hard lessons and hidden treasures.

The local and national news seemed focused on Cedar Key - bad but they are used to it and can handle it, and Tampa Bay not as bad as they thought it might be.

"Labor Day so we all start thinking of school." That was the old days, and now school starts in August which I think is a crime. JMHO. Here in Washington the State, at WWU and UW do not start until med-September.

So Doc I read that Burning Man has sheltering in place because of the rainfall and mud... any word from your boy?

Hey, guys. So it sounds like everyone is surviving.

Nothing from my son, but that area is extremely remote, no cell or internet service. He's very self-sufficient and capable, and the community that forms each year in BRC is supportive of all. There are Emergency Medical Services and Law Enforcement authorities available and they must use satellite phones.
It's not at all unusual to have temporary and brief sheltering in place because the wind can get very bad, and it's a desert but still subject to rare heavy rain. When that happens, it gets very muddy very quickly so people are instructed to return to their camp and batten down the hatches until it passes. Attendees arrive prepared to be totally self-sufficient so I'm sure he is OK.

I was sorry to hear about Cedar Key. It was a cute little place. I stopped in there one time when I was making my trips back and forth to Panama City.

Well, at least, anyone at Burning Man this time should have some stories to tell. Being flooded out and all muddy and sloppy is a pretty unique set of circumstances.

You have to be innovative for sure...and since many times neighbors don't know each other anymore, not likely to be able to band together and share the resources easily.

So I have it figured out, sorta, the extended version tonight included an episode of Guy Noir that was not broadcast AND the extended intermission with crowd singing... which GK really enjoys. Who does that now a days? Audience sing a long is mostly for the pop crowds that sing along but not by invitation!

This sing-along is what happens when they aren't strictly limited to the 2 hours format. It's wonderful.

Brandi Carlile sometimes has sing along of refrains during her performances.
And in smaller gatherings, especially family get togethers, sing-along may still be popular.

True in US society as a whole. I think what is going on at Burning man now is the opposite, old-fashioned way. People are having dance parties in the much with others in their camps, walking to the next camp because they can't ride bikes in the mud, sharing supplies as needed because commercialization (selling stuff) isn't allowed.

//So how is the sorting and packing going ?//
Thanks for asking dw.
It is going very slowly but surely. If I could just DO IT, it would be easier, but with a cognitively impaired person this is not so easy. A lot of junk has accumulated over 25 years, even though we didn't live in this house all those years. It's hard enough for me to overcome my tendency toward "Oh but we might need that!"

You are in good company I perceive. When I retired I put lots of things into boxes thinking "I may need that for consulting, or for advising, or to write a book" but noon of it has been used, and I know with each passing month, things that were important during my time are being replaced by the new reality. It is more sentimental to have boxes from my parents that were rescued after they both passed... mostly it is just seeing something that was important to them, or in their handwriting... cannot let go of it yet. The hurricane did me a favor however in that because of the loss of electricity I cleaned out my old house fridge and freezer!!
