Listen
Garrison Keillor: This portion of A Prairie Home Companion brought to you with the best wishes of Old Folks at Home Cottage Cheese...the name you've gradually come to trust since 1939....Old Folks at Home Cottage Cheese — the only cottage cheese that says right on the label: contains no arsenic and no formaldehyde. Do other brands make that same promise? Old Folks at Home does. Creamy goodness, a fair price, and no arsenic or formaldehyde. That's Old Folks at Home.
And brought to you by Bob's Bank. You won't find marble floors and fountains and expensive landscaping at Bob's Bank. Why? Because we want your money to work for you and not get frittered away on non-essentials. Bob"s Bank in the green mobile home with indoor/outdoor carpeting is your headquarters for frugal common sense when it comes to investment. And at Bob's we don't rubber-stamp loan applications. We take a hard look.
Tim Russell (MINN): Sorry but I just can't see why you need a two-car garage with an automatic-door opener. You only got the one car, your garage isn't more than forty years old, and it seems to me that lifting garage doors might be good for you.
GK: That's Bob's Bank. In the green mobile home. Save at the sign of the sock.

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!
