From the Editor’s Desk

Garrison Keillor & Friends: A wonderful night in Lubbock…
I got to spend last week in California, seeing people, doing things, from Irvine up to Sacramento, and people kept trying to get me to go with them to vineyards, though I no longer imbibe. I used to and then about 25 years ago I stopped. I am capable of idiocy on my own without adding intoxication to it. And I had a two-year-old daughter and I didn’t want her to see me drunk. She and I love silliness, which is a whole other matter.
YME band students honored
This past weekend, Yellow Medicine East band students braved the cold and attended the SWMBDA Honor Band Festival all day in Marshall! These kids were nominated and then selected from forty-nine different schools in Southwest Minnesota. They worked hard over the past two months to prepare some challenging music and performed it with students selected from other schools after working on it all day with guest conductors.
