On the last Saturday night of the year, Dec. 20, a few friends gathered to pay tribute to Goerge Fraik, “Northern Minnesota’s Leigh Kamman of Blues.” After two and a half years of bringing Blues to the Borderland and fans across both countries, George’s show on KGHS/KSDM has come to an end. He has left us without the blues, and we will miss his passion for the genre. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
