This week we'll be back at the Fitz with special guests and good friends of ours Robin and Linda Williams, fiddler and mandolinist Peter Ostroushko, and classic country-western guitarist Jay Peterson. And there's a good chance we'll have a couple of presidential candidates visit the show. We are, after all, a swing state...

 Tim McIndoo |
 |
On October 23 we found Tim McIndoo of Minneapolis in the lobby of the Fitz, waiting for his boss, Karen, and some other colleagues. It seems as though Tim's beloved cat, Doone ("after Lorna Doone, the cookie and the song"), recently passed on to kitty heaven, and Karen brought him to us in an effort to cheer him up. What a kind boss! Thanks for coming, Tim. Please accept our condolences.
Tim's favorite part of the show was the Bush script.
