We’re in luck to give thanks for lots of bands, whether led by ladies or lads

Tunes and turkey, (including the various types of hunting), and a new duo mark the highlights of this weekend’s activity:
— The Willow River Saloon in Burkhardt has been advertising as a group a trio of bands in the vicinity of Turkey Day, involving the eight days before and after the holiday, which also features there a meal with the oven roasted bird or carved ham and all the fixings. These groups include Lady Luck (Nov. 20 with their edgy Old School and new rock), Fiddlin’ John (Nov. 21 having instrumental with an edge) and The Farmer’s Daughters (Nov. 27 with an edge of female-led country excitement and enthusiasm).
— The duo of “Josh and Dave,” on guitar and vocals, have recently teamed up after playing with a variety of other bands and take their new act to Shooters Pub in River Falls on Saturday, Nov. 21. Josh most recently took the stage with the Jeff Loven One-Man-Band and laid it down with a bluesy, guitar-driven rendition of country rock. As in his days with The New Skinny, they will likely go deeper than the tried-and-true standards, as can be seen with Josh’s influences, which include The Blend, Young the Giant, Stereophonics, Lights Out Dancing, New Medicine, All the Right Moves, Anberlin, MGMT and the Naked and Famous, and several more mainstream bands.
— Just in time for hunting season is a beer of the month special, Low on Doe, otherwise known as Old Milwaukee Light, at Dick’s Bar and Grill. And it will only cost you, literally, a couple of “bucks” as long as you order before 10 p.m. That gives you plenty of time to stop in after hunting hours close.
— Halloween lives on (redux). The Jacko traveling pumpkin shandy is available as the November beer of the month at the Village Inn in North Hudson, and with each bottle you get a “mustache” in case you’re still in need of a costume. And The Village perhaps leads the way in its promotion on its marquee on the battle-for-first between Green Bay and Minnesota, by saying they will have on their 20-plus TV screens the 3:15 p.m. Sunday contest with the “ViQueens.” As much as that gets our kudos, we must say “boo” to the Big Guys BBQ Roadhouse online post about the game that some viewed as offensive to the Purple People.

  • 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...

  • When they got hitched, in the long haul, it went off without a hitch or glitch. This wedding was The Big One, for me pre-empting that of Taylor Swift or the latest (re)marriage of one of the royals. Now, after these multinational nuptuals, off on a European honeym0on.
When my niece got married, everyone knew the wedding was going to be as extravagant and elaborate as they do it down in Austin, TX, where she worked for a couple of years before deciding to go back and get her Master’s in Wisconsin, in either Madison or Milwaukee, quickly done mind you and then soon, and after a slightly postponed European honeymoon and an apartment found, start working as a social worker in one of those two areas. So you can see, there is a degree of impulsivity, although she was very certain in her choice of a mate...

  • Snoop Dogg doing his Tony The Tiger take while hawking Cheetos saved it. How you can win a fun and Fandango movie deal when bundling, sorta, with Subway, or score a walk-on role for a movie set in summer-of-love Paris or such. Details below, for a limited time, as these movies hit in July.
Hey, those marketers I compete with, and not telemarketers as even I wouldn’t stoop that low no matter how financially addled and not from India, with their flyer of the day(s), are getting more creative. As far as again, their marketing. Case in point. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Subway. And not the mass transit kind that’s full to the gills Out East. The food chain one has great prices for a whole lotta food, and great specials too. So this is not completely sour grapes. But this one rubbed me the wrong way, like an old sauce...

  • Heartland Days stays true to the heart of its name and lets kids of all ages rule the roost. Photograph them and give them their due aND turn behind the wheel, with A garden tractor or FFA approved. There’s music, too, if you wait to the fest’s end, after the parade.
As the months turned, this is the season for truck and tractor pulls, (and corn feeds, too, all around), and this time around moreso, the kids are all right and cooking and taking the reins, as this weekend in Hammond Heartland Days, in the heart and center of St. Croix County. To that early-in-statement end, there is a truck and tractor pull At The Days, but don’t diss or miss it, it is not necessarily for these huge hulksters seen on ESPN lunking things like a semi and than climbing (aboard) up the steps of a set of bleachers to...
