Project Overview

Over almost 40 years, Cathy Erickson of Middle River has developed relationships with nearly every polka and old-time performer in Minnesota. Many of the bands and individual performers make their own homemade CDs to sell at their performances throughout the rural communities served by KSRQ. Cathy has a archived these recordings and will share them, along with the interviews from the performers who make them, on her new program, "Goodtime Old-Time." The weekly hour-long program will be broadcast on Pioneer 90.1, archived on radionorthland.org, and shared with Ampers stations statewide.
