Henneman strikes me as such a great guy. He has the UHI kind of ironic distance, but
it's like he's appropriated it and inverted it to say serious things in a
straightforward manner. Like the quote Marie cites. His self-effacing humor linked
with powerful songwriting is a nice combo too. It was nice to have them on last,
capping off a great episode on the St. Louis segment of the river. .
