Having a Ball: A Badger State Road Trip

I’ve met a decent number of outsider folk artists over the years, but few have been as engaging or likable as Mr. James Frank Kotera of Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin — or, as he prefers to call himself, JFK (“and I ain’t been shot yet”) — who I had the privilege of meeting last . . . → Read More: Having a Ball: A Badger State Road Trip
