Garrison Keillor
Dear Garrison, Congratulations on reaching 35 years of a WONDERFUL SHOW!!!
We listen to your show when we can and have become total converts! I even made a rhubarb pie last night! (We live in Australia and it's not normal Aussie food, believe me....we loved it, coulda done with some cornstarch to thicken it though. Love your stories, love Guy Noir, love all the music. Hope to try to listen live for your 35th, but don't know whether we will manage. Would absolutely LOVE to be there with you all.
Love from Sally and John Bloomfield, Castle Hill Australia.
—Sally Bloomfield
Pete & Nancy Klingeman
Wishing you both the best for your 52nd wedding anniversary! Hopefully this makes up for our neglect of your 50th!

On July 4th, help us celebrate the 35th Anniversary of A Prairie Home Companion and the Fourth of July with a free live nationally broadcast show from Avon, MN.
From Garrison Keillor:
“When I was 16, Helen Fleischman assigned me to memorize Shakespeare’s Sonnet No. 29, ‘When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state’ for English class, and fifty years later, that poem is still in my head. Algebra got washed away, and geometry and most of biology, but those lines about the redemptive power of love in the face of shame are still here behind my eyeballs, more permanent than my own teeth. The sonnet is a durable good. These 77 of mine include sonnets of praise, some erotic, some lamentations, some street sonnets and a 12-sonnet cycle of months. If anything here offends, I beg your pardon, I come in peace, I depart in gratitude.”

Robin & Linda Williams are among the most popular guest performers of A Prairie Home Companion (they also appeared in the movie, have performed as part of the The Hopeful Gospel Quartet, and made appearances as Marvin & Mavis Smiley). This CD features some of the duo's best harmonies from the show. Among the 12 tracks are familiar fan favorites, including "For Better or Worse", "Visions of Mother and Dad", "Tied Down, Home Free" and the title track. A collection that is muy bueno!
