The Associated Press
Named best new artist last year by Japan Record Awards — the Japanese version of the Grammys — White made his first major U. appearance Saturday during the opening ceremony of the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington before a diverse audience of several hundred. They cheered waved and some even held up signs bearing his name. Minoru Furuyama sat in the front row with his wife their 18-year-old daughter and a friend. Furuyama says they came solely to see White’s performance. “He’s got a beautiful voice” says the 55-year-old from Rockville Md.

Diners can ‘have a ball’ at testicle festival
The Associated Press
(AP) — The fundraising idea may seem a little nuts but akdale’s annual Testicle Festival is always a big hit. n Monday volunteers with the town’s Rotary Club plan to fry up 400 pounds of the private parts of bulls and serve them to diners who pay $50 apiece for the sit-down meal. The event whose proceeds also benefit the akland Cowboy Museum has drawn an average of 450 people and last year raised $28000. It’s common practice on cattle ranches for young male bovines to be castrated into steers which after the initial loss eventually makes them more docile and easier to handle. Fans of the delicacy also referred to as “mountain oysters” come from around the state.
