PAST TOURS, UNPLUGGED

Don’t we love our local Walmart? Even though one guy didn’t take kindly to me terming it the epitome of rampant capitalism. But since it is autumn soon, we have to fall into line with some humor — including back-to-school — at the expense of our area super-box-stores! (But for their legal Beagles, they generally are good sports). —– So last call for flowers anyone? And a quip about the Queen Mum? And the NR Thrivent triplicate (potted) plants on THEIR front porch.

Oh what we have to deal with as reporters/bloggers. You may not get Freedom Of The Press love for Being There, and certainly not the way of Peter Sellers. Ask that almost aggressive deputy/clerk. But please, don’t blame the messenger, even if in this case its just me, The Lowly Blogger. It’s not all just Dirty Laundry. Leave that for the TV News.

This updated post is Dennis Nolan remastered. With lots more info on both his funky anthem-like stage show and where to reach him — or myself as his quasi-manager — so see below if you are having a part.

Upon further review(s), this recommended show now can be a combo of acid jazz, funk and tribal music and more,

We have the pull(s). Since it feels so close to heaven in this roarin’ heavy load … And with apologies to Judas Priest, (the music will be country), there may or may not be turbos used, depending on the class of big honking tractors.

Don’t retire your tractor just because it is at retirement age. (And this is just the opening event to an

Bust A Move with broccoli bacon salad and likeminded loaded pasta, mixed together and shown to make a combo, from the deli — see the solid servers at NR Dick’s Market — then make it your own once home with more veggies and enough other add-ins and sauces to create another shelf’s worth of room in your fridge. Festive enough to make you stay in, not go out?

The only way to start the fair’s music off right is with America’s #1 Daredevil Country Duo. They are now new — from parts unknown? — to these parts. Train Wreck Honky Tonk? The Penn and Teller of Country Music? With originals? It’s all right here, right at the St. Croix County Fair on Thursday evening. (With three other acts to follow throughout the weekend, described at the end of this post).

Massive kudos for the St. Croix County Fair as among the first to bring royalty into our presence, if such
