Dear Mr. Keillor, Hello, it's me, Kristine Johnson of Northeast Minneapolis. I wanted to thank A Prarie Home Companion for the opportunity to share my loon call at the street dance last Saturday.

My talents are at your disposal. Sincerely yours, Kristine Johnson

Send a greeting!
Announce an engagement, admonish the babysitter, celebrate a birthday, or just say hi. At each live show, we collect greetings from the audience and from the Web site for Garrison to read on the air.

Each week's greetings will be collected and posted with that week's broadcast in the archive, and may be selected to be read on the air. To see your greeting, go to "Old Shows" and find the week you submitted it.
