GK: ....brought to you by Bertha's Kitty Boutique, for persons who care about cats. The holidays should be a happy time for you and your cat, but sometimes---- (VC: Oh no. Puff! GUILTY MEOW. VC: The box is way over there. Look at this! You're supposed to be housetrained! MEOW) The holidays can be a stressful time for an animal. But you can reinforce your cat's house-training with Mr. Rogers's Cat Box Video.
TR (MR ROGERS): Well, I was talking to our old friend Mr. Litterbox there in the corner and he's a little sad today. Yes, he is. You know why? Because nobody's left him any presents. No, they haven't. Remember, when you get that special feeling inside, that means it's time to visit Mr. Litterbox. And we go scratch, scratch, scratch, so he knows we're there. And then after we leave our present, we go scratch, scratch, scratch, so it's a surprise. Okay? (MEOW)

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!
