Description

This week: we'll rebroadcast a show fromNovember 2014, when we headed up Interstate 35 for a show at theDECC Auditoriumin Duluth, Minnesota.The California Honeydropsjoined us to ward off the late autumn chill with "When it Was Wrong" and "Grandma's House," Duluth singer and songwriterSarah Kruegerdelivered "Grace," and Lynn Peterson accompanied the host on a few duets, including a tune about Minnesota's rivers. Plus: Guy Noir hit a big payday in Duluth, Richard Dworsky and The North Shore Orchestra played "Karate," and a trip on Lake Superior aboard the research vessel Blue Heron. In Lake Wobegon, Clint Bunsen gave up deer hunting.Download this week's News from Lake WobegonNotes from Ben Malament ofThe California Honeydropsabout this weekend's rebroadcast:Some of us grew up with the show, but we all agreed it was even more amazing live than on the radio! Fred Newman pretty much blew our minds, and getting to sing "Ripple" with Garrison was a groovy thrill, to say the least. Masters at work! The whole production was full of spontaneity, yet well-oiled and smooth at the same time. Jamming with the house band (during intermission) was so fun, those cats were so cool, and someone on the staff helped set up a gig for us later that night at a local bar in Duluth, where Fred and a lot of the cast and crew came out to party with us -- Sarah Krueger lent us her amps! Family vibes in snowy Minnesota. What a treat for us California Honeydrops.
