Fun Time! A Prairie Home Companion

Last night my wife and I celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary (a couple weeks late) by taking in the dress rehearsal of today's Prairie Home Companion show at Wolf Trap here in Vienna, VA. I've listened to the show, on-air, for almost thirty years and this is the first time I've seen it live.

What fun! It started with Garrison and the audience singing "The Star Spangled Banner" before the show's opening song "Tishomingo Blues". So much good music! Shawn Colvin, Heather Masse and Sara Watkins were the guests. A great Guy Noir story and of course the news from Lake Wobegon.

If you get the chance, see the show live, but hurry. It seems that Mr. Keillor has announced his retirement next year.
