I've been spending some time on this holiday season getting caught up with some online things. I did a year end wrap up podcast, indulged my passion for vintage clips on YouTube (everything from rock TV clips to soap operas) and some archived audio sites and message boards. Doing the latter, I caught wind of some items from the Twin Cities way that I want to acknowledge.
-Big congrats to my dear friends Tim and Paul, the Frantzich Brothers, for appearing on A Prairie Home Companion in November. I am so proud of these guys. I go way back in their history when they were making the gals swoon as part of the rock band Ride Ruby Ride at the old Music City Cafe in St. Paul. Their spiritual and musical growth has been remarkable to witness. This was exciting as when TD Mischke and Michael Loonan appeared on APHC a couple of years ago at the show's MN State Fair broadcast.
- Speaking of TD Mischke, I also learned of the passing of a frequent caller to his radio show. "Undertaker Fred" was a delightful personality, always with a song on his lips and his faith on his sleeve and in his heart. He will be missed. (By the way TD, a shout out to you, keep being as creative as you are. And please make a new CD one of these days.)
