Free music this weekend is not a folk myth, and you can pick it at The Willow

Reach out and touch someone, or something, for free, and that just might mean petting a dog:
— Imagine the freedom this free night will give you. You can pick pretty much any song you desire in a free
TouchTunes night at the Willow River Saloon in Burkhardt on Saturday night, June 4. TouchTunes is the largest
in-venue interactive music and entertainment platform, featured in more than 71,000 bars and restaurants across
North America and Europe. A press release says the network supports a growing portfolio of location-based
digital solutions that encourage social interactions through shared experiences. (Wow that’s a mouthful). They
have the technology to highlight the songs, artists and search results that are most relevant. TouchTunes also
has renewed their exclusive jukebox license featuring The Beatles.
— Dogleg Left will return to play their folk, indie music and light rock at Dick’s Bar and Grill on Friday  evening.

They are known for being original, in both their style, tunes played and compositions. They are said to sound like

The Jayhawks and have been signed by the label South Channel. The bio of the Twin Cities band is informative, if

not satirical: “After touring the country for more than a decade and playing nowhere, Dogleg Left has returned

home to record their first work in years.”

— Also at Dick’s, participate in a “threesome,” although that much indulgence might be intoxicating. A set of
three flyers in a row advertise liquor in the forms of Surly on one side and Lagunita IPA on the other, each
featuring a leggy, scantily clad woman in almost exactly the same pose. The flyer in the Middle is for Jim Beam
(lucky guy). Only one of the women, however, is smoking a cigarette, (and I thought that came afterward).

A hodgepodge listing of everything that’s truly different but maybe baked porage follows, and we’re not talking about a connect-the-dots or puzzle-pieces contest or one on Trump’s foreign policy, haha, rather what I saw and what will be seen around town in recent times. Mostly, one of each. Think you have the world’s, or more likely local church’s, best grilled cheese sandwich, (coming from the land of, specifically, well curded and curdled milk and honey?) Fry it to the test on Saturday. No this is not an autumn chili cookoff, or char the best burger, or even a poker run...

  • Give props to the several bands for climbing partway up deer-stand-style lofts, then taking to all but the lute. (We saw virtually every other style of smaller instrument at a Music in the Trees fundraiser for a nature preserve.) Yes, they dropped a couple of drumsticks to the forest floor, but perservered as a fan fave. Then a band from The Andes stole the show.
Music in the trees? It conjures up images of a poet wearing millenniums-ago robe and sandals while playing a lute and propped onto the fourth fork of a bigger-than-usual apple tree and doing a balancing act on his ass while he sings a soliloquy or a soffit. Maybe taking a bite in-between verses, to match what listeners chomped on if they hauled it in down long nature paths, making for dinner and a show with duos and trios, and one huge and elaborate band. Well didn’t quite get that lute-ist. Or a bassist so high on life and so-forth stoned...

  • The start of one song, was simply “Question?” So we’ll lead off this story — Guess Who? — with who will lead the blue as it attempts to fade in with the red in the county in this election cycle? Can we get to The Color Purple? Mock the Maroon? (A scam Alert!!! My post is massively updated after my short trip between Badger and Gopher states. So read on.)
Questions everywhere? These days, how do you dismiss an ad or a politician, or whoever or whatever pops up and occupies your computer screen, or mailbox, electronic or otherwise? And did that answer in the form of a package or letter or even air waves — coming from a pol or a pool? — ever actually arrive, like all those ads and flyers? Maybe it never will? And surely not written with a quill. As one friend just reminded me, it all starts with one problem leading into another set of problems. Or, like a volcano boiling and brewing and...

  • The hearsay vote will be read by some as pure heresy, as Hermening spies the ‘country club crowd’ for how he can putt to quasi-greatness and quash Trump. Then in today’s election there’s a pro-life, run-of-the-mill muckadymuck, a Hong pro-education predictable, and a sharper than the average sheep Shannon (yes it’s a he.) THat’s what flyers tell us about the Day’s Of Our Lives. Today.
Hey today they threw it all back to you, as it is election day, and with it the last Badger gasp — if least if they’re our candidates — (is that the throaty noise they make?), with a soar-throated, campaign-trail rasp made by an audio-version plethora of last-minute flyers that fill our boxes with hopes to grasp, so we can check their boxes when we go to the polls and pick a (partial) winner to move on to full November midterms. Less then the Trump-triumphed manhandling our mailboxes got however, in the last election of this type. Those worn, creaking...
