Rhonda Vincent and the Rage were with us for the Halloween show,and
we had a fantastic time. So we invited this bluegrass queen back for
Saturday's show at the Fitz, and she accepted! Considering St. Paul's
recent weather reports, we're calling her the trooper of the month,
with a reward she can tell the folks back in Missouri about: Temps
above zero. Join us, plus Jim Lauderdale, the Royal Academy of Radio Acting, and more.

Richard, Denise,
& the Beckhams |
|
Richard Haughian, the man on the left (from River Falls, Wisconsin, seen here at the January 22
show with his wife Denise and friends Sue and Dick Beckham), claims to
be the only liberal car dealer on the planet. We hope he's wrong.
Jan & Taylor |
|
Jan Meck of Houston and her son Taylor Sprenkle of Washington, DC, decided to meet up in Minnesota for a bit of a Prairie Home
weekend; when they found out that the Saturday show was sold out, they
decided to come anyway for a Friday preview show. Then they hit the
rush line on January 22 in the hopes of a double feature — and they got in!
Peter & Sara |
|
Peter Albrecht and Sara Mushlitz are like west and east. He lives in Minneapolis and she lives in St. Paul. But when we caught up with the couple at the Fitz on January 22, they managed somehow to be lovely together and even to take a fine photo. Peter figured we were being friendly because of his Wobegonian hat, but people are just friendly here in St. Paul, Peter. Ask Sara. She'll tell you.
The Johnsons |
|
Jake and Judy Johnson's daughter Janelle was kind enough to get her parents a Christmas gift of tickets to our January 22 show. The parents have been listening for years from their home in St. Cloud, which, says Jake, is not far from the start of the Lake Wobegon bike trail.

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!
