A Prairie Home Companion for September 30, 2006 from American Public Media

September 30, 2006
This week on a Prairie Home Companion, we travel west to Montana, land of Ponderosa Pines, Blackspotted Cutthroat Trout, and Grizzly Bears the size of compact cars. We'll be broadcasting live from the University of Montana's Adams Center, in Missoula, with featured guests including Montana Singer-Songwriter Stephanie Davis, acoustic duo Growling Old Men, singer Prudence Johnson, and sitting in with the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, Andy Stein and Peter Ostroushko. Also with us, the Royal Academy of Radio Acting: Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman. Join us this Saturday from Big Sky Country, where we'll turn the horses loose, "...'cause you can't ride 'em in the chute!"
