Many Thanks to Doctork who filled in the info for last week while I was out. This week’s classic show was originally performed on October 22, 2011 at the Fitzgerald Theater. John Lithgow revisits a few of his lesser-known roles in The Lives of the Cowboys, acoustic duo Storyhill performs “Blazing,” and Nashville virtuoso Steve Wariner sings “Chet’s Guitar.” Peter Ostroushko and Butch Thompson sit in with the Shoe Band. Plus, the Royal Academy of Radio Actors: Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and our dear friend Mr. Tom Keith. In Lake Wobegon, Dorothy urges Chatterbox Cafe customers to try pumpkin bread pudding. This show has been previously rebroadcasted so don't worry about the date on the hotlink below: www.prairiehome.org/shows/47869.html

Steve Wariner
Four-time Grammy winner Steve Wariner is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, producer, and instrumentalist who has dozens of albums to his credit. His early career was propelled by his musical hero, Chet Atkins, about whom he says: “Try to do what he does technically. Then try to do it with his touch, tone, and feeling, and you’re reminded that you can’t out-Chet Chet. He was something else.”
John Lithgow
When he was a kid, John Lithgow wanted to become a painter — a watercolorist — but he has definitely made his mark in acting. By anyone's measure, he has carved out a stellar acting career — from television (3rd Rock from the Sun, How I Met Your Mother) to film (Terms of Endearment, The Rise of the Planet of the Apes) to Broadway (Requiem for a Heavyweight, M. Butterfly) and more. And in addition to his ten acclaimed children’s books, Lithgow has a memoir: Drama: An Actor’s Education. “My first stab at a book that weighs more than three ounces,” he quips.
Storyhill
Calling themselves Storyhill, acoustic duo Chris Cunningham and John Hermanson are longtime musical collaborators, dating back to high school days in Bozeman, Montana. Their 2007 album — simply titled Storyhill — was named Best CD of the Year by the Indie Acoustic Project and led to their winning the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition.

A Note to a post from Doc. This morning while I was posting, I had at least 39 "Guests" who logged in to the thread. Sure would be nice if Proboards would let one of us be a site administrator. Some of those folks might be former members that lost their previous ID info, some might be interested in chatting (we do have some friendly threads for sure); however, that and a white Christmas in Tallahassee are both unlikely to ever happen!

Oh, I believe Joe is our last remaining administrator. He just doesn't play the "moderator" role, so we are free to wander around frivolously, gleefully saying anything we want in whichever titled thread that strikes our fancy.
Guests can still register and post if they wish. As of this moment, we've had 262 guests in the last 24 hours.
Edit: 257 guests now in the last 24 hours; 5 viewing this thread, and I'm the only one here.

I just logged on.
Joe has an administrative role, but when he looked into it with Proboards, no real power, as that is vested in the long-gone Trusty. Only Trusty can change any important rules, and though Jay tracked him down somewhere in Georgia and learned from a friend that he was OK at that point (we were worried about him), he hasn't made an appearance here and there is no way to transition authority and responsibility for this board.
I think moderating by a moderator hasn't been a critical function. We've been able to moderate ourselves pretty well and I am not sure how much moderating Joe could so anyway.
We'll forge on, observed by a lot of bots and probably some lurkers. I tested the system and it is possible for new members to join, although it is difficult to join as a "new member" if you are already a member. It apparently must be from a different and unknown device with a different ISP, as well as a new name.

I checked into it before and communicated with Joe also, and he was not interested in pursuing anything with Proboards, since they have a very unfriendly policy to not allow anyone to take over a site unless the original administrator has an explicit communication allowing such to occur. So while I know many have dropped out (from looking at the last viable posts made by each registrant member) there will never be a real opportunity to change this threads chatting environment. Dw

Already now, 5 minutes late but better late than never!
And StoryHill!! They are fabulous and were on one of the APHC cruises, but I was having trouble remembering their name. Now I know it!
DW, I could post here in this thread but I'd have to do so from my cellphone using my alternative alias. Which is top secret.

I continue to be amazed at the diversity of guest performers that appeared on the show over its lifespan. Every kind of music, all kinds of guests, and slices of the non-performers every so often who just happened to be interesting enough to bring onto a little old radio show.

This morning I went to the Great Harvest Bread bakery, wanted to be sure to get there early enough before they ran out of my favorite Apple Pie Swirl bread or the frosted blueberry cinnamon buns, but I usually go in the afternoon - no crowds. This morning it was crowed and smelled wonderful with all the hot bread coming fresh out of the oven. My chosen items were still warm, and while waiting for the apple pie swirl to come out of the over, they gave me a sample of Dakota Seed bread - with butter. It was wonderful. I didn't taste it until I got home though (hands full with the other items), and then I was sorry. That bread was so good, if I'd have tried it before I left the store, I'd have gotten some of that too. www.greatharvestbend.com/breads/dakota-2/Oddly enough, we've lived here forever but I went to Great Harvest for the first time just a couple weeks ago. But now I am a convert. I am not buying bread in the grocery store ever again (maybe). For now, I am eating a late lunch - bread and olives.

I think that is (among the) best feature(s) of APHC - the huge variety of talent GK brings to the stage, and to the public's attention. Practically everything I need to know I learned from APHC and MerleFest.

We have a few fresh bread makers in Tallahassee, but I cannot afford the prices. I am not a big bread eater anyway, too many carbs. There are some tasty combinations that just are never made for supermarket consumption.

That bakery sounds like fun. Was it crowded, people bumping and pushing and trying to get to the display cases? Mob scene?

No it wasn't a mob scene, this is Bellingham, people are polite and orderly! It's a small shop so the line can't be that long, maybe 7 - 8 people, 10 at the most. I chatted with the gentleman next to me in line, and he was very helpful dispensing advice because he was a regular and I was a newbie.
DW, generally I follow a low-carb diet too (40 - 60 carbs/meal), being a diabetic and all. Surprisingly I have lost weight on this despite the fact that I am not enthusiastic about protein, so low carb = higher fat diet. However, most slices of bread have about 30 carbs, and if you also include cheese or butter on/with the bread, the fat slows the absorption of the carbs thus avoiding the sharp rise in blood glucose ("sugar high"). And Great Harvest stone grinds its own flour every morning, so it is higher in protein and fiber than commercially produced products, overall more nutritious, very filling.
I had purchased a "soup package" ($4,95) with dried noodles, tortellini and potatoes as well as spices, made it up into 2 quarts of tortellini chicken soup using a chicken breast I'd got on sale for 99 cents a pound, bone-in package of almost 5 pounds. So the loaf of bread was $8.95, pricey yes, but the soup + bread will take us through a lunch and then a dinner for two of us. With left over soup and toast.
The stone ground bread seems also to stay fresh longer compared to baguettes, which I also like, but those baguettes are simple carbs, low protein and fiber, so not a good nutritional deal.

I refuse to be a "counter" as that never was a good way for me to approach healthy eating. So I go for the big picture approach, but I am glad that you have found a way to combine things that works for you!

If a diabetic person is not fond of bread, pastry or other sweet items, no need to count. Otherwise, it's very difficult to manage one's diabetes without counting carbs, not calorie-counting although 1 carb = 4 calories if you need to know.
In the past I think there has been an over-emphasis on calorie counting, and I agree a more global approach to a healthy diet overall is better. Since I like bread and cookies and ice cream, I just have to keep an eye on the carbs if I want to keep my blood sugar in range. BTW, I do not feel good when my blood sugar is too high. Even worse if it is too low, so being able to manage the diabetes without insulin is a big help. Inaccurate insulin dosing can cause severe hypoglycemia, so counting the carbs instead of going through blood checks and shots is much better for me. Plus I happened to lose a lot of weight of the low-carb diet - bonus!
Just one more pain-in-the-ass medical issue, but better to just adjust and get on with life. Never let a medical diagnosis take over your life.
