Yesterday during the afternoon there was an amazingly wonderful event. There was a benefit at the Cedar Cultural Center to help out a local legend and musician Bill Hinkley pay some hospital bills. Within this crowd of aging hippies and dancing children there was incredible support for that dynamic duo of Bill Hinkley and Judy Larson. The place was packed and the music was superb. But this was a lot more than that. This was a celebration of the stellar pillars of our community that play music. It was a potluck where lots of folks brought great food and great music. It was also a musical tribute to that magical thing that musicians do when they play for free to promote a cause or help out a friend. Making a living as a musician is so difficult and even those with considerable fame don't have it easy. Starting a 10 person jug band is probably not the first thing a financial advisor would suggest as a way to get rich. So thanks to all the people who showed up, Dakota Dave Hull, Bob Bovie, Charlie Maguire, Spider John Koerner, Willie Murphy, Doug Anderson, The Geezers, Sorry Muthas, Becky Reimer, Tommy Ray, Butch Thomsom, Andrew Cadilac Kolstad, East Lake Hot Club with Papa John Kolstad, Larry Long, and many more who played and donated CD's. And thanks to Bill Hinkley and Judy Larson for playing. On this cold day in Minnesota the place heated up pretty good. One of the great things about this city is Bill Hinkley. Thanks, Scott Vreeland Seward I also thank the behind the scene instigators MJ Mueller,Laura, Char, Willie and Rita and others. REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
