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. Listen to the show Requires free RealAudio player. See how to listen. In its entirety | | | |

An Interview with Heather Masse
In a 2009 interview, Heather Masse tells us about her earliest influences, auditioning in a women's bathroom, and a few memorable moments from A Prairie Home Companion.
Old Sweet Songs: A Prairie Home Companion 1974-1976
Lovingly selected from the earliest archives of A Prairie Home Companion, this heirloom collection represents the music from earliest years of the now legendary show: 1974–1976. With songs and tunes from jazz pianist Butch Thompson, mandolin maestro Peter Ostroushko, Dakota Dave Hull and the first house band, The Powdermilk Biscuit Band (Adam Granger, Bob Douglas and Mary DuShane).
