IN PHILADELPHIA BORN AND RAISED, JOHN SNYDER MOVED TO SD AND PLANTED A GARDEN
This week's Rock Garden Tour features less talk and more witty banter on green bean casserole, Neil Dimaond and whether or not he belongs on our Macy's Day Parade Float, and this interview about John Snyder's corn. Enjoy the podcast and keep it rural.
Oil Can delivered an irreverent George Jones impersonation the other night, which is exactly the kind of thing listeners across this great state of ours have come to expect from the Rock Garden Tour's Senior Sound Effects Coordinator.
GAZE DAZE 2011
This week's rock and roll garden variety podcast features a bit from last week's show where Oil Can and Flowerman examine sungazing hot spots in South Dakota. Gaze Daze is a mythic festival in Gayville, SD where sungazers gather to stare directly into the sun, sort of like plants that use photosynthesis. It was an idea that emerged during the show and we thought it was good enough to share in the form of a podcast. Click on the file at the bottom of the post, or hitch a ride down the information county highway and listen to the entire episode. Thanks, and keep it rural.
PEOPLE FROM GARDEN STATE ATTEMPT TO DESCRIBE WALL DRUG AND FAIL
Caption: Walter Hessert, Million Dollar Road Trip, applies Wall Drug sticker to back of iconic Air Stream while Ted Hustead, Wall Drug, contemplates form. I met the Million Dollar Road Trip crew last Friday when they visited Fresh Produce in downtown Sioux Falls. I produced this story about the experience for next week's Rock Garden Tour. I'd love to tell you more about it, but I'd rather you just click the audio file below.
LIVE FROM LATITUDE 44 FEST
SUBHEADLINE: LOOPY AS A PEACH ORCHARD BOAR
This week's rock and roll garden variety podcast features a story told by the one and only Charlie Parr, live from the Telestory Booth. Rock Garden Tour Chief Spotlight Operator Steve Bormes and I set up the booth at Latitude 44's second annual music festival over the week-end, and we have this great story to show for it. Thanks for sharing Mr. Parr, and thanks to Latitude 44 for letting us set up our lil' cosmic experiment in the parking lot. Oh, and thanks Kari Holland and Graphic Content for letting me use this photo in today's post.
ROCK GARDEN TOUR 116: LOW IN STATURE, HIGH IN NITROGEN
This week's rock and roll gardening podcast features some zany sounds from the Rock Garden Tour pre-show show, a rare and glorious audio oddity. After that Oil Can and Flowerman share thoughts on some avant-gardening fertilizing methods. Enjoy this week's Rock Garden Tour podcast and as always, keep it rural.
ROCK GARDEN TOUR 115: CRIME AGAINST VEGETABLES
In a perfect world the above photo would be of a veggie thief in the night, because that's what Josh Verges and I talk about in this week's Rock Garden Tour podcast. Problem is that it's hard to photograph veggie thieves, especially at night. That's the whole point. Veggie thieves barely even exist. They're sort of like the Rock Garden Tour's East River bias in that way, and triple entendres, and Badgerton, SD, and the yeti I suppose.
ROCK GARDEN TOUR 113: A PULSATING PILGRIM RECYCLES
This week's original rock and roll gardening show podcast features a live performance by Godfather of the Rowena Polo Club, member of the Rock Garden Tour Family Band, and recent inductee to the SD Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - Jimmy Groth. He talks a little about his first band the Heartbeats and how he broke their heart in the mid 60's when he joined up with the Pilgrims. Enjoy this week's Rock Garden Tour podcast and keep it rural.

ROCK GARDEN TOUR 112: BUMPER CROP!
In this week's original rock and roll garden show podcast we talk about whatever, this may or may not include less talk and more witty banter on Jesse Spano, Wall Drug bumper stickers, Gayville, SD and SDPB's spring member drive. The podcast is a little obscure (a little more than usual anyway) as this week's live recording on KCFS 94.5 was a free for all, never mind why. Enjoy this week's Rock Garden Tour podcast and per usual, keep it rural.
This week on the original rock and roll garden show podcast, we reveal what really happened to the great horned lark in 1943 that caused it to lose rank as the South Dakota state bird emblem. Thanks to the state reference desk for the research that helped us unearth the truth. Enjoy this week's Rock Garden Tour podcast and as always, keep it rural.
