MADISON, Wis. (CIVIC MEDIA) – Spring time brings the threat for severe weather and it’s lining up on a holiday weekend with higher travel expected. A low pressure system is headed into Wisconsin, dragging showers and some thunderstorms with it. These start Thursday and bring the risk for hail and gusty winds. Moderate rain is expected with totals around 0.50″. Some areas northwest may see heavier rain, nearing 1.0″ or more. It’s needed for a green up to start and planting season to progress.

To understand how we got here, consider the rise and fall of former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who has agreed to surrender his law license for behavior unbecoming of a lawyer, let alone a formertop judge.

This week on Those Were the Days, we will feature a few of our favorite Canadian artists. I realized early on in my record collecting career that some of my best loved artists hailed from Canada. I have purchased lots of vinyl recorded by the Guess Who, Bachman Turner Overdrive, April Wine, Triumph, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Loverboy, Bryan Adams, Five Man Electrical Band, and Rush.
