...love the garish foolishness of the holidays--the hideous seasonal sweaters, the inclusion of the candy cane in the food pyramid, the annual opportunity to sit on a fat man's lap and tell him secrets. It is as if we called a time-out from the rules that dictate our everyday lives, and for many families this is a delightful occurrence. Unfortunately, this time of year also presents us with unusual social situations that call for extended families and friends to come together and share the convivial spirit of the season, which in my family leads to the annual...

Perhaps the American audience was leery of a band that even had pretensions at involving folk music in their sound...
...traveled the river, we met local residents who make their living on and around the Mighty Mississippi, including dockmasters, fishermen and environmentalists. Friday night, as our boat approached its last stop of the day in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, a team of talented water skiers formed a pyramid to guide us into shore. Thousands of cheering local residents - enough to fill three towns from the area - watched, and listened, and stayed late into the night to share their hopes and dreams for the future with...
