A Prairie Home Companion for July 8, 2006 from American Public Media

July 8, 2006
This week, we're trying to get the rhubarb stains out of our clothes after a pie-eating contest went terribly wrong on the trip home from Tanglewood, so we'll bring you a special re-broadcast, the best of two shows we did in Duluth not so long ago. Featured guests include poet Louis Jenkins, bluesman Charlie Parr, power-picker Leo Kottke, and the Mila Vocal Ensemble will give Garrison some singing tips. Also with us, the Royal Academy of Radio Acting: Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Tom Keith, the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band with Dan "Daddy Squeeze" Newton, and the News from Lake Wobegon takes us back to the Winter of '51, when temperatures hit -40F and Garrison learned some hard lessons about hockey from a team called the Duluth Dolls.
