On Chatabout today, we welcome Eric “Ricky” McKinnie of the Blind Boys of Alabama, the five-time Grammy-award-winning gospel group, heading to the Reif Center on Feb. 25.

Tickets are available at the door and online.

Tomorrow’s show will be another double-header! First, a visit with local author and musician Pat Mason, then we’ll talk to Mr. Chris Fettig, director of Bemidji High School’s choral program. That’s on Chatabout tomorrow, at about 12:15 p.m.

Our show today was brought to us by our friends at Higgins Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration, by the Bemidji Chrysler Center and by the Beltrami Electric Cooperative.

Thank you for tuning into Northern Minnesota’s Talk Show since 1956! Have a thrilling Thursday!
