This week on A Prairie Home Companion we'll navigate the Rocky Mountains to bring you a live broadcast from the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco. With this week's special guests: a champion of American roots music and brilliant performer, Maria Muldaur; San Francisco's all-gal urban old-time teardown The Stairwell Sisters; and joining the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, the rainy day man, Andy Stein. Also with us, the Royal Academy of Radio Acting: Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman, the News from Lake Wobegon, and much more. Join us this Saturday, live from the Golden State.
