A Prairie Home Companion for August 25, 2007 from American Public Media

August 25, 2007
This week on A Prairie Home Companion, it's a special compilation show all about the life of the working man and woman. Gillian Welch and David Rawlings will sing "Red Clay Halo," The Wailin' Jenny's sing "One More Dollar," Butch Thompson will play the "Working Man Blues," and poet Deborah Garrison reads a few of her poems, including "Worked Late On A Tuesday Night." Dusty & Lefty get lucrative job offers, complete with benefits, and we'll hear the story of Bob Anderson who left Lake Wobegon and went to New York to get a job as a dancer.
