We thoroughly enjoyed our first Thanksgiving dinner with you, even if the gravy was sour and spoiled the next day because the thermos we used to keep it hot on the table also kept in hot in the refrigerator.

Garrison Keillor,
My husband Michael and I are thrilled to be at this (12/13/03) live performance in NYC's Town Hall. We are mega fans who listen to your show almost every week, have many of your books and tapes (wouldn't object if you were to autograph one of them), and we each have a Guy Noir Bobblehead. Why you may wonder? That's as close as we've been, until now, to the real Garrison Keillor. Although I was raised in "the big city", times were more simple and innocent much like the times that you describe at Lake Wobegon. I'm a native from the Upper West Side of Manhattan known to the local folk as "the city". I remember when we didn't have to lock our doors at night, when people slept on blankets out in the park on summer nights to cool off, when all of the streets were two-way with little traffic. I remember when mothers left their babies in prams outside of food markets [because the aisles were too narrow] and always found their little angels waiting for them. I remember when children willingly offered their seats to elders both on the bus and the subway and remembered their "please" and "thank you's". I remember people saying that they weren't as rich as "Rockefeller"; the same one for whom Rockefeller Plaza is named. I remember my working mother freezing her buns off on Sunday mornings so that my friends [whose parents never wanted to go] and I could go ice skating at the Wollman Memorial Ice Skating Rink [that's what it used to be called] eating candied apples [pre dental work] and standing out in the cold where I could see my own breath waiting in line to see the show at Radio City Music Hall on Christmas Day with my brother, and parents whose anniversary was on that day; my father bought chestnuts roasting on a vendor's fire and I watched with fascination as he magically opened each piping hot nut with his bare hands. I especially remember sitting by the radio with my brother during snowstorms and blizzards [much like the one we just had] praying to hear our school's name so that we knew that we had the day off to play in the snow. This is my brief stroll down memory lane; wishing everyone Happy Holidays from my New York State of Mind!

To Our Aberdeen, South Dakota Families,
The midwest is calling us back home...where we belong. We love & miss you all-Happy Holidays! If you get the chance, send us a little of that snow, which we've taken for granted all those years. (These southerners don't know what they're missing!)
- Our love, Lydia & Mark in Columbia, SC

Scripts and bits from A Prairie Home Companion celebrate the secret society of men and women who possess excellent spelling and punctuation skills. (You know who you are.)
Selections include "The Six-Minute Hamlet," a tribute to Emily Dickinson, a Guy Noir adventure that exposes an MFA scam, a riveting "Professional Organization of English Majors" drama, and guests Billy Collins, Robert Bly, Roy Blount Jr., and Calvin Trillin.

The soundtrack to Robert Altman's take on Garrison Keillor's radio show features 25 songs. If you are an avid A Prairie Home Companion listener, you know what to expect: a delightful mix of music and fun by APHC regulars including the Guy's All Star Shoe Band, Robin & Linda Williams and Jearlyn Steele, among others, plus some amazing music by a diverse slate of guest performers. Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin duet as the singing Johnson sisters on "My Minnesota Home" and "Goodbye to my Mama." Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly appear as Dusty and Lefty, the singing cowboys, and warble "Whoopi Ti Yi Yo" and the crowd pleasing but crusty song "Bad Jokes." Lindsay Lohan delivers "Frankie and Johnny".
