From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Portraits of immigrationRachel Coyne, a writer and painter in Lindstrom, loves outdoor arts events. She's looking forward to seeing Cadex Herrera's outdoor exhibition on the campus of the White Bear Center for the Arts in the north metro. “First Person Plural” features 10 larger-than-life black-and-white murals, each featuring the faces of immigrants living in White Bear Lake, where Herrera also used to live. The installation is intended to honor the diversity of immigrants in the area and their contributions. Herrera also directed a documentary about the project, which will be on view. The exhibit opens to the public Thursday with an artist event and celebration from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.  Rachel says: I just like the idea that, you know, this could be somebody you're passing on the street. But also they're a work of art. — Rachel CoyneWorthington marks Dia de los Muertos Eric Parrish is the instructor of music and theater at Minnesota West Community and Technical College and the conductor of the Worthington Chamber Singers. He's looking forward to a series of free events in Worthington to mark Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Events start this weekend and run through next week, culminating in a performance by 512: The Selena Experience, a Selena cover band, on Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. Most events are held at the Memorial Auditorium in town. Among Saturday's events: Puppeteer Gustavo Boada will unveil two commissioned 8-foot Catrina sculptures at noon. His performance group Little Coyote Puppet Theatre will perform “Skeletons in the Closet: A Day of the Dead Story” at 1 p.m., followed at 2:30 by a puppet-making workshop. The event coincides with the annual meeting of the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, which comprises 18 counties and two sovereign nations. Art studios and public art will be open for self-guided tours.  About 512: the Selena Experience, Eric says: This is the premier Salena cover band in the country. So it's a really big swing for our small community. People don't know Worthington is one of the most diverse communities outside of the Twin Cities in the state of Minnesota. And it's very exciting for us as a community to embrace this holiday and in this way with all the artists and activities. — Eric ParrishReflecting on water as a relative Diane Wilson is a Dakota author living in Schaefer, and she got a sneak peek at the art exhibit Mní Futurism at Metro State University's Gordon Parks Gallery in St. Paul. Mní is the Dakota word for water. In this exhibit, two Minnesota-based Native American artists reflect on our relationship with and use of water.  The exhibit is a joint show of photographer Jaida Grey Eagle, who is Ogalala Lakota, and multimedia artist Abby Sunde, of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe. The exhibit opens with an artist reception Thursday at 5 p.m. and runs through Dec. 5. Diane says: Their work is very thought-provoking. It's visually stimulating, and it ranges from impacts on water from pipelines, from pollution but also looking at the impacts on issues like food sovereignty and treaty rights and access to healthy water. Jaida Grey Eagle's photographs, for example, evoke the beauty of some of the traditional food practices. There are photographs of wild ricing. And there's one that is so poignant of a young boy in a canoe, and it just evokes that generational relationship to wild rice and how dependent that traditional food is on clean water. And then Abby Sunde looks at from a little more of a critical thinking lens. She looks at, for example, some of the impacts that pipelines have had on water in her community. So there is one series of drawings that are created from rust on glass, and it's called “Stolen Water.” It's about aquifer breaches that occur when a pipeline piling is driven too deep, and it breaches into the aquifer, and all this water is released that isn't supposed to be released. It's stolen water.  It's a small and intimate gallery on the first floor of the library. The work of these two women complements each other beautifully in terms of the way that they think about and portray water as a relative.— Diane Wilson

"Neil Young's 2024 Tour with Crazy Horse: A Legendary Performance"Larry Mishkin discusses the creation of the song "The Music Never Stopped" by Bob Weir and John Perry Barlow. Weir explains his collaborative process with Barlow, where they developed lyrics together over the phone, inspired by Barlow's description of a scene from Wyoming. Weir also reflects on the importance of lyrical and musical cohesion, and the song's debut and history of performances, including at venues like the Great American Music Hall and the Palladium. The discussion transitions to Neil Young's recent tour with Crazy Horse, highlighting the band's performance and Young's energy despite his age. He also mentions upcoming events and concludes with a focus on the Grateful Dead's performance of "St. Stephen" and other songs from 47 years ago. Grateful DeadApril 30, 1977  (47 years ago, tomorrow)PalladiumNYCGrateful Dead Live at The Palladium on 1977-04-30 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet ArchiveAudience Tape This is another good show from 1977, but the recording quality is actually not bad considering this is an audience recording.  Since then the show has been commercially released as the first volume of the Grateful Dead Download Series if you want to hear the crisper soundboard recording.Highlights from this show are the first set Mississippi Half Step and even Looks Like Rain is played with a passion that is moving even if the song always is not. In the second set, the Dead start off with a Scarlet Begonias>Fire on the Mountain (pretty good), swing into a fun mid-set Good Lovin (common for that time, but for the last 15 years, it was almost always a set closer as an alternative to Sugar Mag) or an encore tune (send everyone home with a smile), Friend of the Devil , Estimated Prophet.  And then they blow the doors off the place with a St. Stephen>Not Fade Away>Stella Blue>St. Stephen sandwich that must be heard in full to be truly appreciated.  It's pretty awesome to hear Stella Blue transition back into the St. Stephen, an unusual pairing to say the least. Close with a Saturday Night and then yet another 1977 Terrapin Stationencore.   INTRO:                                 Music Never Stopped                                                Track #2                                                0:00 – 1:26                 Hunter Weir tune, released on Blues For Allah (Sept. 1,1975). Bob:  As a lyricist I'm glacially slow. I can generally get the job done, but it takes too damned long. So I like to work with people who have a little more facility with that—you know, John Barlow, Garrett Grant, Robert Hunter.Or I may have a general notion of the color of the rhythm and the harmonic or melodic development, and I'll sit with a guy and we just fire blank verse at each other until we start to corner that color—and then often the song will fall right out of the sky. Other times, I may have no notion of where the song wants to go, in which case I'll let whoever I'm working with surprise me. . . .“The Music Never Stopped” is a song that we wrote over the telephone. I had this business going [plays opening guitar riff, Example 13 below]. So I played this over the phone to John, and he just started spitting stuff at me. The first line came out, “There's mosquitoes on the river / Fish are rising up like birds.” He was living in Wyoming at the time on a ranch, and he started describing a situation that I'd seen with him, where it was late summer on a dry year and things were hot and kind of dull and dead.So where are we going to take this? Well, first I figured the verse is going to have to be twice as long as I originally figured, because if you're starting with an image that thick, you have to get into some detail about it. “It's been hot for seven weeks now / Too hot to even speak now / Did you hear what I just heard?” That last line came after some deliberation. It's a pregnant line, sort of like a leading tone in a harmonic development.The success of the endeavor, if you're working with a lyricist, depends on how closely the lyric marries the music. With Barlow or Gerrit Graham or whoever, there's a lot of back and forth. I guess I get to be the decider, because the words are going to have to come from my lips. And so I have to be able to tell the story.I have to be that character, because my job is to get the hell out of the way and let the character tell the story, musically and lyrically. When I'm standing in front of the microphone, I may look like me, but I'm not.If the character arrives with a really defined face and features, then it's easy for me to do my job.Fun version because almost always a first set closer and here it is opening the show.  Love that.            236 times            First:  August 13, 1975 at Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA, USA            Last:  June 28, 1995 at The Palace of Auburn Hills                      The Palladium:  The Palladium (originally called the Academy of Music) was a movie theatre, concert hall, and finally nightclub in New York City. It was located on the south side of East 14th Street, between Irving Place and Third Avenue.Designed by Thomas W. Lamb, it was built in 1927 across the street from the site of the original Academy of Music established by financier Moses H. Grinnell in 1852. Opened as a deluxe movie palace by movie mogul William Fox, the academy operated as a cinema through the early 1970s.Beginning in the 1960s, it was also utilized as a rock concert venue, particularly following the June 1971 closure of the Fillmore East. It was rechristened the Palladium on September 18, 1976, with the Band live radio broadcast,[1] and continued to serve as a concert hall into the following decade.In 1985, the Palladium was converted into a nightclub by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, after their success with Studio 54. Japanese architect Arata Isozaki redesigned the building's interior for the club.[2]Peter Gatien owned and operated the club from 1992 until 1997.The Palladium closed in August 1997 following its purchase by New York University.[3] In August 1998, the building was demolished in order to build a twelve-story residence hall that students affectionately referred to as Palladium HalThe Dead also played there when it was called the Academy of Music in a series of seven shows on their way to Europe for the '72 tour.  One of the those shows, the entire March 28, 1972 performance plus selections from March 25, 1972 and March 27, 1972 were released as Dick's Picks Vol. 30This five night Palladium run, of which today's show was the second, is famous for a lot of reasons including the part of 1977 when the Dead put together a string of some of their best shows ever, peaking on May 8, 1977, just over one week later, at Barton Hall in Ithaca, NY.  All five of these shows are well played, great tunes, and a very grooving feel that you can still pick up off of the CD or down load 47 years later.  I had most of these shows on tape and wore them out from so much playing.  Love that they previously released this show as Download Series Vol. 1 and the new Dave's Picks release, No. 50!!, is the May 3, 1977 show including some extra songs from the next night as well as the annual Dave's Picks Bonus Disc that is even more songs from the May 4th show).  If you are not listening to Dave's Picks, you are missing out on quality recordings of some of the best shows ever.How hot was the band, check out this extended jam at the end of ½ Step, the second to last song of the first set (ending with a great Promised Land) and be sure to listen for Jerry and Keith going back and forth throughout this clip:                                             SHOW No. 1:                    Mississippi ½ Step                                                Track #11                                                7:06 – 9:29 Garcia/Huner tune released on Wake of the Flood in 1973.  Also live versions included on Steal Your Face, Dick's Picks Vol. 1, Without a Net and who knows how many other Dick's/Dave's Picks releases, etc.  If you want to hear it, you can find it, easily. First performed July 16, 1972 at Dillon Stadium in Hartford, Connecticut. Followed "Me and My Uncle" and led into "Sing Me Back Home," which closed out the first set. A staple of the repertoire ever since. 236 times (exact same as Music Never stopped!)First:  July 16, 1972 at Dillon Stadium, Hartford, CT, USALast:  July 6, 1995 at Riverport Amphitheater Maryland Heights, MO Music News: Neil Young Tour  SHOW No. 2:                    St. Stephen                                                Track #1                                                              0:00 – 1:49 Blah Blah Blah, everyone knows about St. Stephen.  Dead's Fluffhead apparently.  Because of its true melodic nature and strong lyrics, it existed long outside and after the end of Primal Dead.  Still only played a total of 187 times:                 First:  May 24, 1968 at National Guard Armory, St. Louis, MO, USA            Last:  October 31, 1983 at Marin Veteran's Memorial Auditorium, San RafaelBut post Dead hiatus year, they started making song sandwiches often based around this song.  This four song sandwich at the end of the show is so good that I had to feature all of it at the expense of some other really great tunes like Bertha, Peggy O, Looks Like Rain, Promised Land, and any tune in the second set.  This sandwich is just too cool to ignore or not give it proper due. Here is the first layer change: SHOW No. 3:                    St. Stephen>Not Fade Away                                                St. Stephen                                                Track #19                                                4:10 – end                                                INTO                                                Not Fade Away                                                Track #20                                                0:00 – 1:15 Great switch out of St. Stephen and into an amazing opening jam of NFA. I wanted to try and catch the opening lyrics but the jam went on for almost 4 minutes which is too long even for these extended clips. MJ News Check out this next transition that they pull off seamlessly: SHOW No. 4:                    Not Fade Away>Stella Blue                                                Not Fade Away                                                Track #20                                                14:15 – end                                                INTO                                                Stella Blue                                                Track #21                                                0:00 – 1:30 Beautiful how they downshift on cue from the raucous NFA into the gentle and beautiful ballad mode required for Stella Blue.  Jerry's voice is so strong and clear.  Really a treat. Not even getting to the last tune of the encore today.  Not enough time but had to close out the episode with the final sandwich transition, from Stella back into an immediate upbeat St. Stephen that is so strong I told Dan we could not edit out any of it!  What a great (almost ending) to such a great show.   Deadheads walked out knowing there were still 3 more to go!  Like going to bed and already being told the next day is a snow day! Thank you all for listening.  Please be sure to join us next week when I am joined by Rob Bleetstein of Grateful Dead Radio (show host), Pearl Jam radio and he is also the Curator for the New Riders of the Purple Sage.  He is joining us to discuss, among other things, the newly released NRPS live album “Hempsteader”.  If you haven't heard it yet, check it out.  I'm looking forward to hearing from Rob how this was all put together and what the NRSP are up to these days. Also, a Birthday shoutout to very good buddy, Sam who is turning old tomorrow.  At his age, the actual number doesn't matter but we love him anyway. ENCORE:                            Stella Blue>St Stephen                                                Stella Blue                                                Track #21                                                7:50 – end                                                INTO                                                St. Stephen                                                Track #22                                                Start - end .Produced by PodConx Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergSound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/Recorded on Squadcast

[A summer vacation re-release of a fan favorite episode from January 2020!] The Buffalo Braves were one of three NBA expansion franchises (along with the Portland Trail Blazers and Cleveland Cavaliers) that began play in the 1970–71 season.  Originally owned by a wobbly investment firm with few ties to Buffalo, the Braves eventually found a local backer in Freezer Queen founder Paul Snyder – who, by the end of the first season, had inherited a team that was neither good (penultimate league records of 22-60 in each of its first two seasons), nor easy to schedule (third-choice dates for Buffalo's venerable Memorial Auditorium behind the also-new NHL hockey Buffalo Sabres, and Canisius Golden Griffins college basketball). Snyder addressed the Braves' on-court issues by luring head coach Dr. Jack Ramsey from the Philadelphia 76ers, while drafting key players like high-scoring (and later Naismith Basketball Hall-of-Famer) Bob McAdoo, eventual NBA Rookie of the Year Ernie DiGregorio, and local (via Buffalo State) crowd favorite Randy Smith – yielding three consecutive playoff appearances from 1973-74 to 1975-76. Off the court, Snyder looked to regionalize the team's appeal beyond “The Aud” by scheduling select home games in places like Rochester, Syracuse and even Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens – and team attendance, TV ratings and revenues achieved league-average levels. By the summer of 1976, however, Snyder was facing severe pressure to sell the team and get it out of “The City of Good Neighbors.”  Of particular consternation was Canisius president Fr. James Demske, who publicly thwarted the Braves' attempts at decent home dates – which angered the NBA enough to force the issue with Snyder.  Snyder, who said he was losing money anyway, threatened to move the Braves to suburban Miami's Hollywood Sportatorium, a deal that collapsed after the city of Buffalo sued and secured a new 15-year Aud lease – with a provision it could be broken if the team didn't sell 5,000 season tickets in any future season.   Author and Western New York native Tim Wendel (Buffalo, Home of the Braves) joins the pod to discuss the convoluted story of what happened next, including: Snyder's ownership sales to former ABA owner (and eventual Kentucky governor) John Y. Brown and businessman Harry Mangurian; The subsequent dismantling of the team and overt attempts to drive down attendance to break the Aud lease; The two-season coaching and player carousel that followed – including the curious six-minute career of Moses Malone; AND How the Braves' eventual move in 1978 to become the San Diego Clippers wouldn't have happened without the Boston Celtics. + + + BUY/READ EARLY & OFTEN: "Buffalo, Home of the Braves" (2009)   FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram (+ Threads): https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

In today's episode of the "The Runway Decade Podcast," hosts Bill Bush and Pete Bush, advisors at Horizon Financial Group are talking with Brett Harrison, the CEO of Cetera Advisors. Brett began his career in Georgia with a predecessor firm to Cetera, and he has had a very successful career in financial services. Episode Highlights 3.29: Brett started as a CPA out of College in Georgia, in Atlanta. He learned quickly and he didn't like having to be perfect all the time, nor be a historian because it was a little bit restrictive for him as per his personality. 4.16: Being 56 at this point brings a lot of different perspectives on the profession as well as relationships and things like that, says Brett. 7.38: Brett probably had three or four mentors in his business throughout the years and for whatever reason they put their arm around him and took pride and helped him along. 9.46: Brett talks about his 50th birthday, how did he celebrate it? What happened to him mentally or psychologically as he went over that half century mark. 11.11: As per Brett 60 is the number that he wanted to be well,  in a way of providing benefits to this world in a different way. 12.57: There are lots of different aspects of being in your 50s and it does provide a lot of experience and a lot of wisdom of how to help people and think through different kinds of situations in life, says Pete. 14.07: Bill got a chance to see Brett speak in front of a group not that long ago and the average age of advisor was mid or late 50s. Brett talks about the challenges that brings to the financial services industry in speaking to advisors in age 50s. 15.22: Brett is getting a lot of good satisfaction with the ability to use his background and his knowledge of all these years to help advisors think about things they have never had to think about before. 20.52: In COVID we have tech advisors who helped to create digital presence and be more favorably recognized in Google searches because when everyone is remote and they see you the first time, they Google you. 21.22: How you show up out in a digital presence is a perfect example of some of the benefits that we have been able to help advisors think about and implement their businesses as a result of COVID, says Brett. 23.09: As per Pete, you have to be somewhat of a chameleon in how you are dealing with the different personalities and different situations that you have to run into and what they think about shutting down or remote work or not remote work and all that. 24.52: Brett's first job was to help the one person wash his horses after practice, squeeze them off with the squeegee, put a big blanket on them, then you walk them around and get them to cool down. It was his first paying job for about 2 bucks an hour. 31.05: The book, The Runway Decade", gets your mind going on things that you may or may not be thinking about. It's not too technical, but it'll have you start asking, all the right kinds of questions as you prepare for your runway. Three Key Points Brett shares his journey and how his career folded. He talks about his guiding force and who gave him good advice along the way and encouraged him in some way? Somewhere down the line, Brett Harrison is going to go off into some version of retirement. Brett shares his thought on what does retirement means to him. Brett talks about his bucket list and what he plans to while he still has his health.  Tweetable Quotes "I fell in love with the financial advice profession about 26 years ago and I have spent the better part of my career in those 26 years working at the company that I helped and lead a division till today." – Brett "What I am really enjoying is helping advisors think about what's the next step for their business and as an executive leader with the firm that they are affiliated with can be helpful in that." – Brett "After retirement, I want to give myself an opportunity to let my brain kind of clear out and during that time, I would like to formulate, how can I do things to feel like I'm continuing to contribute but it won't be on anyone schedule with mine." - Brett "We don't have to get together all the time but when we do it's really valuable." – Pete "My first concert I ever went to was in the eighth grade. It was called the Memorial Auditorium in Chattanooga; TN and it was Molly Hatchet but for me best till now was few weeks ago in Nashville." - Brett Resources Mentioned https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-harrison-0636824/ www.runwaydecade.com www.horizonfg.com

After taking a look at Dylan’s creative process in the studio last week, Laura and Robert turn their attention to Bob Dylan’s performances on the stage for this week’s episode. One thing I didn’t get to mention - if you enjoy diving into expansive universe of Dylan live recordings, you MUST check out the series Pretty Good Stuff, curated by one of our favourite Dylan experts James Adams for Aquarium Drunkard. A true connoisseur of Bob Dylan’s bootlegs, his selections are simply inspired and not to be missed.The performance of One More Cup Of Coffee that I was referring to was from the 4 April 2009 in Munich Germany, and you can listen to it here. However, I misremembered how often Bob Dylan had played it since the seventies: he did play it once in 1988 and a few times during the 90s, as well as once in 2007 before reviving it for two shows in 2009 (in Stockholm and Munich). If you’d like to check out the episode on the significance of twins and doubles in Bob Dylan’s songs, you can find the Gemini episode here.Lastly, something he probably wouldn’t let me say on air, but Robert has just released a beautiful song last week called “Whatshisname”, and you can find it on Spotify, as well as on Bandcamp. If you like great songwriting (why else would you be here) and sad country songs, this one might be right up your street.Playlist:I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met) (Live at Philharmonic Hall, New York City, NY, 31 October 1964)One More Cup of Coffee (Valley Below) (Live at Memorial Auditorium, Worcester, MA, 19 November 1975)One More Cup Of Coffee (Valley Below) (Live at Nippon Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan, 28 February or 1 March, 1978)Cover Down, Pray Through (Live at Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo, NY, 1 May, 1980)Handsome Molly ( Live at The Gaslight Café, New York City, NY, 1962)I And I (Live at Le Forum, Dijon, 1 July, 1998)

The Buffalo Braves were one of three NBA expansion franchises (along with the Portland Trail Blazers and Cleveland Cavaliers) that began play in the 1970–71 season.  Originally owned by a wobbly investment firm with few ties to Buffalo, the Braves eventually found a local backer in Freezer Queen founder Paul Snyder – who, by the end of the first season, had inherited a team that was neither good (penultimate league records of 22-60 in each of its first two seasons), nor easy to schedule (third-choice dates for Buffalo’s venerable Memorial Auditorium behind the also-new NHL hockey Buffalo Sabres, and Canisius Golden Griffins college basketball). Snyder addressed the Braves’ on-court issues by luring head coach Dr. Jack Ramsey from the Philadelphia 76ers, while drafting key players like high-scoring (and later Naismith Basketball Hall-of-Famer) Bob McAdoo, eventual NBA Rookie of the Year Ernie DiGregorio, and local (via Buffalo State) crowd favorite Randy Smith – yielding three consecutive playoff appearances from 1973-74 to 1975-76. Off the court, Snyder looked to regionalize the team’s appeal beyond “The Aud” by scheduling select home games in places like Rochester, Syracuse and even Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens – and team attendance, TV ratings and revenues achieved league-average levels. By the summer of 1976, however, Snyder was facing severe pressure to sell the team and get it out of “The City of Good Neighbors.”  Of particular consternation was Canisius president Fr. James Demske, who publicly thwarted the Braves’ attempts at decent home dates – which angered the NBA enough to force the issue with Snyder.  Snyder, who said he was losing money anyway, threatened to move the Braves to suburban Miami’s Hollywood Sportatorium, a deal that collapsed after the city of Buffalo sued and secured a new 15-year Aud lease – with a provision it could be broken if the team didn’t sell 5,000 season tickets in any future season.   Author and Western New York native Tim Wendel (Buffalo, Home of the Braves) joins the pod to discuss the convoluted story of what happened next, including: Snyder’s ownership sales to former ABA owner (and eventual Kentucky governor) John Y. Brown and businessman Harry Mangurian; The subsequent dismantling of the team and overt attempts to drive down attendance to break the Aud lease; The two-season coaching and player carousel that followed – including the curious six-minute career of Moses Malone; AND How the Braves’ eventual move in 1978 to become the San Diego Clippers wouldn’t have happened without the Boston Celtics.

WANTED POSTERS: Hendrix, Dylan, and The Greatful Dead: Andrew Hawley Hunts Down Rare Rock 'n Roll Posters

The Rolling Stones at Memorial Auditorium (1964). Jimmy Hendrix playing the HIC Arena in Honolulu in 1968.  The Grateful Dead at Trouper's Club in Los Angeles (1966). Posters for these concerts and hundreds of others featuring rock 'n roll legends of the 1950s and 1960s were never intended to last. Which is why today's hardcore collectors will pay thousands of dollars to acquire the few concert promotions that have survived the decades.  If you love the early pioneers of rock music, you won't want to miss this week's edition of Monday Morning Radio, featuring Andrew Hawley, a rock historian who makes his living trading vintage rock concert posters and related ephemera.    Hawley's Vintage Rock Posters is a niche business, but one that reinforces the notion that personal passions and business savvy are not mutually exclusive. By the way, Hawley will lay down some fast and serious cash if you've got the right memorabilia hanging around your garage or attic.  This show could be music to your ears. Hawley is interviewed by Wizard Academy faculty member Dean Rotbart, who along with wealth management expert David Biondo co-hosts the weekly Business Unconventional radio news magazine broadcast on 710 KNUS AM in Denver.
