A Prairie Home Companion for May 12, 2007 from American Public Media

May 12, 2007
Coming up this Saturday, Prairie Home comes back to Minnesota. We'll be taking up our two week residency in Minneapolis at the State Theater. Come join us from the big theater in the big city with some big guests—Wilco will give us a taste of their new album Sky Blue Sky. Andy Stein will sit in with the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, and up-and-comer Becky Schlegel will be dropping by as well. And as always, we'll have the venerable Royal Academy of Radio Actors: Sue Scott, Tim Russell and Tom Keith.
