when i was in elementary school i used to wake up to the morning show on minnesota public radio. one morning i heard sally rogers singing "lovely agnes", and the beautiful chorus became lodged fast in my brain! i went in search of a recording of it, and found my way to a wonderland in richfield mn. called:

The Homestead Pickin' Parlor

there i discovered an abiding love for folk music, and this has changed my life.
