Kids Bicycles and Parts »
By ericswan on Dec 4, 2012 in Uncategorized | 8 Comments
My rapidly growing daughters have outgrown numerous bicycles and I am wondering what to do with the collection of bikes cluttering up our yard.
Any better suggestions than donating to Goodwill etc? Wasn’t there a bike shop in the Hillside at one point that might take this stuff? Or anyone know how these could go to bikeless kids?
Gear Stolen from Sacred Heart Studio »
By ericswan on Oct 1, 2012 in Lost and Found, Music, Total Bullshit | 6 Comments
Sunday afternoon Sept 30 someone entered Sacred Heart Studio while I was in the back office and made off with two items; a green Matchless DC 30 combo guitar amplifier and a red Fender PJ bass. I am posting a picture of a similar amp.
The theft has been reported to the police.
If you have any information about these items please contact the Duluth police or call/text me at 218-390-4794.
Thanks for any help.

Duluth Does …? »
By ericswan on Aug 8, 2010 in Events, Music | 112 Comments
Sacred Heart Music Center is gearing up to do another Duluth Does event in October and we are trying to decide on a theme. We have already done the Beatles, Woodstock, Johnny Cash and Neil Young and the Grand Ole Opry. We have some ideas but want to hear suggestions from the PDD community.
What artists or genres would you like to hear area musicians cover?
Our only criteria is that the music will work in the space, meaning Duluth Does Slayer or Megadeath is probably out, and that people will want to come out and support it as these events are fundraisers for Sacred Heart.
What’s your idea for a Duluth Does show?
