026: Andy Ruff, Councilmember (At-Large), on Bloomington Then and Now

On today's show, we catch up with Andy Ruff, one of three at-large members of the city council and, even though he was off last term, is the Council's most senior member, first elected in 1999. In our interview he looks both forward to his return to Council and the goals he has for it, as well as backward to his first term, and to life as a townie. 

Ruff is also a country musician in the tradition of the Bakersfield Sound and artists like Buck Owens. He's played for years with the local honky-tonk band the Dew Daddies. His son is touring up-and-comer Hank Ruff. He's also our first musical guest: he brought his guitar into our studio to play a little for us. Stay tuned at the end of this episode for a special bonus.
