/Hear the Full Podcast!
We know how to celebrate a Labor Day Weekend! The Alaska State Fair is packed with food and entertainment! For example, the Anchorage Midnight Sons Chorus share a history lesson a cappella style of the Gold Rush.
Alaska State Fair Memories Memories abound at the Fair. Here, co-host Mike Ford and Steven Franklin were Goat judges! What did they know about goats? Let's just say the 4-H Club was shocked by the choice!
Then we visit a memory with Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees when he was at the Alaska State Fair and shared his story when he met the Beatles!
Remembering Robby Dennis
Our close friend, Robby Dennis, was playing at the State Fair with John McEuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. An accomplished musician, educator and close friend, Robby left us too soon in life and many who loved Robby. But his career was colorful and interesting having performed with some of the musical greats. We resurrected this interview with Robby when he was getting ready to perform at the Alaska State Fair.
This video tribute From his close friend, Steve Rychetnik. https://vimeo.com/sprocketheads/download/224807046/22dcb26bde
