A Prairie Home Companion from American Public Media

December 3, 2005
This week, we begin our love affair with New York City all over again from The Town Hall, featuring Grammy award winning soprano Renée Fleming, acoustic guitar virtuoso Kaki King, and the multi-talented ‘Duke of New York’, Andy Stein, so tune in this Saturday for A Prairie Home Companion. We'll hit the town, catch a show, grab a bite, and stay up all night.
