The World Dairy Expo is in town this week, and that got me to pondering, do I have what it takes to be a farmer?
Let's review my agricultural resume:
1. As a reporter in Stevens Point, I got to ride around on a flatbed trailer at the Hancock Experimental Station, learning about innovations in potato farming.
2. Once interviewed Alice in Dairyland.
3. Sold concessions at a square dance convention. Farmers square dance, don't they? Isn't what the barns are for?
4. Bumper crop in my garden this year! 16 tomatoes and 3 green peppers. Let's not talk about the peas, which are crack to rabbits and inspired them to eat through my plastic fence.
5. I know that Alfalfa is more than just one of the Little Rascals.
Pretty impressive...I know. That's why I was quite confident I would fare quite well in a farming challenge posed by Rock-n-Roll Farmer Jimmy Voegeli. My opponent? City kid Jonathan Suttin! No problem!
We paid a visit to the Voegeli Farms area at the Expo today, and got to know some Brown Swiss cows. A little too well. How did everything work out? The video is in post-production, and will be up soon for you to watch. You know that painting American Gothic? It's kinda like that.
The Broadway musical Wicked has flown back into town, thrilling fans at the Overture Center now through June 9th.
I got a chance to see the production for the 2nd time last night, and once again was blown away. Even though I saw Wicked in 2010, I had...
Today we traveled back to 1975 for a Rendezvous with The Hudson Brothers. This song didn't make it to high on the charts, but Kitty enjoyed it. Her favorite brother was Brett. She also loved their television show. We've included a skit from...
I'm not sure why Pete Yorn decided to name his new music project after a European cave dwelling aquatic salamander, but if he stops by to play us some songs in Studio M, we'll have to ask him.
The Olms is a collaboration between Pete Yorn and...
Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.
2) I used to...
Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...
Madison's summer music festival season kicks off this weekend with Brat Fest at Willow Island, where there are more bands than you can shake a bratwurst at! Check out the Brat Fest website to plan your itinerary.
Next up is the Marquette...
