KHOI intern Isaac Biehl starts us off with a "listen" back to the Memorial Day ceremony at Municipal Cemetery, held by the Ames Patriotic Council. Herman Quirmbach, president of the Council, and Jathan Chicoine, ISU Veteran Services Coordinator, speak. The Ames Municipal Band plays.

Then KHOI intern Zachary Neuendorf gets us up to speed on Art Walk, happening this Friday, June 3, with an interview with Judy Gilger, co-owner of Gilger Designs, which is sponsoring the event, and Andrea Basche, manager of Worldly Goods and co-chair of the Art Walk committee.

Then, long-time Ames guitarist Larry "Red" Stoltenberg joins us in the studio for conversation and song. Redz Blues, a five-member band, will play the whole duration of Art Walk, 5:00 to 8:00 PM, at the KHOI digs here at 410 Douglas in Ames. You're invited to come down and listen, maybe even join the Doodle Squad, which will be painting a new mural for the station's walls.
