February 10, 2007
Coming up this week on A Prairie Home Companion, we're stoking the home fires with our friends Robin & Linda Williams and the First Lady of St. Paul Soul, Jearyln Steele. And sitting in with the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, the same fantastic horn section we had in St. Louis: Dave Bargeron, Jon-Erik Kellso, and Kathy Jensen. Also with us the Royal Academy of Radio Acting: Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and legendary sound effects man, Tom Keith. Join us this Saturday from the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, as we huddle for warmth against the February freeze.
