10/31/11 – Here is a happy Halloween gift. Back in September, Mountain Stage, the long running, syndicated public radio music performance show, recorded two shows at North House Folk School in nearby Grand Marais. This was a very exciting event for our little community and especially meaningful for those of us that enjoy performing home-made American music. The first of the shows is being played at various times around the country this week and the second show will air next week. You can find broadcast times on the Mountain Stage website. After each week of broadcast, the shows can be listened to on the website archive section any time.
My band, The Splinters, warmed up the crowd for the first Mountain Stage show and my other band, Unnamed Stream, warmed up the crowd for the second show. We didn’t make the recording, but the national musicians who did appear on the main stage were very complimentary and kind. – Bill
