A Prairie Home Companion from American Public Media

February 25, 2006
Lately, we've been feeling some nostalgia for the days when we traveled Minnesota in a borrowed Winnebago with Tom Keith at the wheel, 12 quarts of chili & beans on the stove, and a pile of guitars and drums strapped to the roof. So, this week we're motoring up to Glenwood, Minnesota to do a show, just like we used to, at the Lakeside Ballroom. Featuring Prairie Home old-timers: Butch Thompson, Peter Ostroushko, Adam Granger, and Prudence Johnson, as well as the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, the Royal Academy of Radio Acting, and the News from Lake Wobegon. There'll be dinner, dancing, and ice-fishing, this week on a Prairie Home Companion.
