Folk veterans and Red House Records' artists, Robin & Linda Williams and Their Fine Group
will be performing Monday, March 31, 7 p.m.
At Three Crows Coffee House, 225 N. River St. Delano.
For tickets and more show information: 763-972-3399 or www.thethreecrows.com The evening begins at 7:30 pm and promises a hearty serving of the duo's signature country, bluegrass, and humorous story-telling that has made them one of the most popular groups on the folk circuit today.
Robin and Linda are touring in support of their new album, Radio Songs on Red House. The record is a long-awaited collection of songs from their last twenty years on Garrison Keillor's popular radio show A Prairie Home Companion. For tickets and more show information call 763-972-3399 or visit http://www.thethreecrows.com. Culled from their on-air appearances over the last 20 years, Radio Songs features 19 standout songs handpicked by Robin & Linda that showcase their signature blend of bluegrass, gospel, folk and old-time country.
This satisfying collection includes original favorites and
covers of songs by some of their songwriting heroes—The Carter Family,
Jimmie Rodgers, Charlie Poole and Lefty Frizzell. Digging deep into
their catalog, Robin & Linda's selections include songs that date back
to their 1977 release ("Restless One") to songs never before recorded,
like the often requested "50,000 Names," which was originally worked
up for a special Memorial Day show.
Other highlights include the down-home country tune "Things I've Learned," the nostalgic World War II-era song "We'll Meet Again" and the comedic radio advertisement for "Marvin & Mavis Smiley – Down Home Diva." Showcasing the duo's humor, warmth and raucous roadhouse sensibilities, Radio Songs is a unique retrospective of one of the most enduring and energetic musical acts of the last few decades.

This will be a fun and safe way to spend a Friday night. All proceeds will be donated to Pennies and Beyond, Inc. in memory of Ashley Rose McGarry.
Ashley passed away March 11, 2007 at the age of 17 from complication of Tuberous Sclerosis, a neurological skin disease which causes tumors in the large organs.
All are welcome to come and support this cause.
It’s a typical Minnesota spring — that is, winter refuses to let go of its grip, even though it is officially spring now. As requested by my co-workers, I snapped a shot of a snow bunny Friday, thanks to the snowstorm moving through — but by Saturday (see the “before” and “after” shots by clicking on the bunny headline), the bunny was gone. Nevertheless, there remains to be plenty of snow cover, even though I heard a weather forecaster say that everything would melt by Easter Sunday. Not so!
The weather continues to cartwheel this way and that with colder temps today and warmer days predicted, or as meteorologist Paul Douglas says “it may be the icing on a cold, strange cake we’ve all been forced to eat this winter.” More…Check out Paul’s blog at http://forums.prospero.com/n/blogs/blog.aspx?webtag=wcco_weather.
Just like Garrison Keillor says, you’re not really from Minnesota unless you complain about the weather.
