This month’s One Mike Stand is Mike-less. No, not the rig, its alright, but host Mike Alberts is on vacation. While he’s off traveling Mark Dvork has taken over hosting duties for this show. It’s another good one singer-songwriter Randy Burgess shows off his finger picking chops and one-ups us all in technical prowess with his fancy pickup enabled guitar. In the second half of the show old time string band Kettle Moraine play some great folk, bluegrass, and honky-tonk songs, all this out of one microphone, what a deal! Kettle Moraine is Jim Sanabria, Kris Huysken, Dennis Harpole, and Ted Johnson. Ted is an original Old Town School of Folk Music student, he was present at the opening in 1957 and was one of the first hired teachers at the school.
