Congratulations to retired Michigan State band director John Madden, named artistic director for the Savannah Wind Symphony Orchestra in Georgia, performing four concerts a year.

Happy 102nd Birthday to 1940 Michigan State band member Henry Nelson, who played the MSU fight song today on his piccolo on Staudt on Sports radio. The podcast will let you hear it if you missed it.

Sad to hear of the passing earlier today of longtime former MSU board chairman Joel Ferguson. The various MSU coaches through the years always appreciated his support. RIP Joel.

Merry Christmas from Rockefeller Center amongst several million others here tonight!
