“Dancing with Welk: Music, Memory and Prairie Troubadours” ~ Remembering Kevin Locke

Monday, October 3, 2022 - We visit with Christopher Vondracek, author of “Dancing with Welk: Music, Memory and Prairie Troubadours.” It’s a cheeky retelling of Lawrence Welk’s story, blending memoir, travelogue, and cultural history. ~~~ Kevin Locke, the renowned storyteller, musician and hoop dancer passed away Saturday at age 68. We hear an excerpt of a Storycorps recording Kevin did in 2018, and we visit with David Swenson of Makoche Studios in Bismarck, who worked with Kevin on a number of projects.
