Hiya folks... I'm planning to be back in the seat tonight listening to the show. Have had some busy Spring days planting and cleaning and taking care of my homeless peeps! This week, we revisit a classic show from April 13, 1996, originally performed live from the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota, with The Turtle Island String Quartet and The New Coon Creek Girls. Highlights include Garrison singing “My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose,” “Hickory Nut Ridge” by the New Cook Creek Girls,” “Jacu” by the Turtle Island String Quartet, and both groups joining on “The L&N Don’t Stop Here Anymore.” Plus, Bertha’s Kitty Boutique, Mournful Oatmeal, Lonesome Radio Theater, The Lives of the Cowboys, and the latest News from Lake Wobegon. www.prairiehome.org/shows/58371.html?

About the performers:
Since its inception in 1985, the Turtle Island Quartet has been a singular force in the creation of bold, new trends in chamber music for strings. Winner of the 2006 and 2008 Grammy Awards for Best Classical Crossover Album, Turtle Island fuses the classical quartet esthetic with contemporary American musical styles, and by devising a performance practice that honors both, the state of the art has inevitably been redefined. Cellist nonpareil Yo-Yo Ma has proclaimed TIQ to be “a unified voice that truly breaks new ground — authentic and passionate — a reflection of some of the most creative music-making today.” The group was founded in San Francisco in 1985. Personnel for this broadcast: Darol Anger, violin; Tracy Silverman, violin; Danny Seidenberg, viola; Mark Summer, cello
The New Coon Creek Girls formed in 1979, carrying on the tradition of Lily May Ledford and the original Coon Creek Girls, who gained fame on the Renfro Valley Barn Dance in the 1930s. Though the lineup of the New Coon Creek Girls changed over the years, the quartet spent decades recording and performing, to the delight of bluegrass fans. The musicians for this broadcast: Vicki Simmons (bass), Dale Ann Bradley (guitar), Ramona Church Taylor (banjo), and Kathy Kuhn (fiddle).

I plan to be here for the show.
After spending the morning and early afternoon on some yard work and more heavy cleaning & sorting, I'm ready to sit down and sort more papers while I listen to the show. Even though I knew we had a lot of papers and junk stored I am still surprised by how much there is. One of my daughters gave me the ebook "Swedish Death Cleaning" for my recent birthday and I am keeping that in mind as I pursue this project. BTW - the gift was in the form of an ebook because I do NOT need more dead-tree books.
The good news - when I finish clearing and cleaning here, there is not very much stuff in our NC house nor is there space to bring a lot more stuff there. We really will be downsized, more mobile, and will not be leaving a mess for our kids. Also we are having nice sunny weather that is rather warm at 60 degrees. I'm getting used to this climate change business, more accepting of sunny days, and I appreciate the increased daylight.

I cleaned a handful of papers out last night while searching for a membership card to a local historical plantation, museum and garden.. didn't find it. But turns out my card expired at the end of 2023 so I renewed the membership and got in early to a plant sale! Got some nice additions to the yard we are building!

Hey, Wilkesboro is right in our neck of the NC Blue Ridge, and of course, it is the home of MerleFest.
The actual title of the book is "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning" by Margareta Magnusson. It's short and not sad or depressing.

I don't think Memorial Taxidermy would be a hit!

I wonder who is the voice of the little girl in the Cowboys skit?

Yeah "Memorial Taxidermy" isn't all that appealing to me either.
No idea who the little girl is - perhaps GK's daughter making a guest appearance on the show? Or one of the other performer's kids?

So have you discovered anything during your cleaning and reduction exercises that you had misplaced and were so happy you found it?

Ironically, I spent more than a year getting the AZ title to my car replaced (I couldn't find the original, figured it was lost in the mail when we moved) so that I could get it registered, licensed and titled in in WA. I found the title a couple days ago in one of the many stacks of old papers. I had looked high and low years ago.
I found a nice casual photo of my brother, took a photo of it and tested it to my (long-lost until recently) nephew. He was thrilled! And his wife laughed and said "That is you!" My husband and I had noticed the strong resemblance but the photos I possess are mainly childhood photos of John since we weren't very close, with him living in FL and me in Denver, West Virginia and Washington.
Found about a dozen of my kids' athletic trophies, texted them photos to see if they want to keep them. They are nostalgic but "No thanks, don't really need them." One exception - one of my grand-daughters is into cheerleading so I am sending her one of her mom's trophies. Quite a bit of old costume jewelry - mine, my mother-in-law's and my mother's. They had given their old jewelry to our girls when they were of the "dress-up" age, which is right where the grands are now.
Really, I uncover lots of little things every day and I am building a big stack of donations, and several boxes of memorabilia from which I plan to create scrapbooks. Lots of knickknacks dating back as far as 100 years in my family, 50 years in our (me and Howard) family. We have 3 nice glass curio cabinets - one modern matched pair, and a single Asian-style that housed a similar knickknack collection that y parents accumulated in their/our travels. After sorting, we'll decide if we have one such cabinet or two. I'm aiming for just one, but not sure.

I often said to myself "I should make a scrapbook" for some reason, but never have.. sigh.

I'm inspired by the scrapbooks my parents created - Dad was interested in photography and was meticulous about documenting his time at the academy, then after their marriage, Mom and Dad kept at it - 11 large format albums' worth! They left one and one-half empty books plus I have several other newer ones I collected over the years (good intentions...) but haven't filled. Yet. I have about 4 book-box sized boxes filled with items for my "scrapbook of the future." The curios have been moved long distances on several occasions already and though one of the curio cabinets has broken glass in the lower door, they are otherwise intact. The glass shelves were removed and wrapped separately for the move and they are all fine.
My "close personal friend" Paul at Bellingham Frameworks (he has done all kinds of custom framing and shadow boxes for me) will replace the door glass for me. I have several unframed works of art that I think I will have done here even though they will need to be moved. Paul is an artiste and we should take advantage of that while we are here. The right frame/matte can make such a difference.
Paul made one shadow box each for my trips to Ecuador, Ghana and Afghanistan. They are beautiful, bring back such memories.

More found items - a lot of old 45's, remember those? I had collected a bunch of my favorites even after the concept of vinyl albums (we have plenty of those too) took over. Back then I was planning on a "jukebox of the future."
That hasn't happened either. Yet. Now they are easier - look like the old record players but all electronic. I may yet get a neon-lit Wurlitzer for my oldies!

Apropos of the scrapbook idea. Print outs of nearly 20 years of these PrairieChatter discussions could make quite a book.

Apropos of the scrapbook idea. Print outs of nearly 20 years of these PrairieChatter discussions could make quite a book. Amazing to think about what happened to those who passed through this place.. some have passed, others just disappeared, and a few come to the Proboards site but never stop in to chat on a Saturday night. I was so pleased that Thomas was able to raise enough money for a mobility chair for his wife to be able to enjoy the outdoors..what love it is to become a caregiver for your spouse. I know you are doing so much now and probably did not imagine this would be how your life would be. Speaking of things that no would could have imagined.. The Rolling Stones debuted in 1962!!! Released their first single in 1963 and the first album in 1964. AARP is a sponsor for their 2024 tour!! 60 + years and still doing rock and roll!

That was wonderful that Andrea will get her ATV/Wheelchair. Thanks for posting that link, DW. I put it into one of the other threads too. They were half-way to goal with many small - medium donations and then a couple of very large donations came in, and there you go! Wheelchair is being created.

Thomas and Andrea have surpassed their $25,000.00 goal by $1,600.00+ and counting. I hope people continue to donate, because the cost of the chair and trailer to transport the chair "easily," is not the amount they will need to help them continue to thrive. It's going to be a long row to hoe. Thank you all!
