July 21, 2007 This week on A Prairie Home Companion: a special summertime rebroadcast from the Dakotas the North one and the South one. We take Del McCoury and his band farther north than they've ever been before to meet up with a few of the locals: Becky Schlegel and singer/songwriter/farmer Chuck Suchy. The New Custer Brass Band plays historic instruments from the National Music Museum, and the historic "King" cello makes an appearance. Plus, find out why Guy Noir is skulking around the Lucky Harvester Casino Complex. Listen to the show Requires Adobe Flash plug-in. See how to listen. RealAudio |
