A Prairie Home Companion for April 14, 2007 from American Public Media

April 14, 2007
This week on A Prairie Home Companion, we're back home at the Fitzgerald Theater in chilly downtown St. Paul, with very special guests, everyone's favorite Finnish-Norwegian seven-piece progressive folk explosion, Frigg. They're here to help get the stoics among us in the mood for summer. Music therapist Todd Schwartzberg will talk with us about the recuperative powers of your favorite tunes. Prudence Johnson will chime in with a few songs, and John Niemann sits in with the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band. Plus the indefatigable Royal Academy of Radio Actors, (Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Tom Keith) the News from Lake Wobegon, and more, all from the corner of Exchange and Wabasha this Saturday.
