This week on A Prairie Home Companion, after a glorious, almost perfect street dance and meatloaf supper, we'll be back at the Fitzgerald Theater broadcasting live with Montana's master singer-songwriter Stephanie Davis, red hot fiddler and mandolin picker Stuart Duncan, and more True Vine music from Mike Seeger. Becky Schlegel and Brian Fesler are on the bill too.
Also with us, the Royal Academy of Radio Acting; Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Tom Keith, The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band with maestro Richard Dworsky, and The News from Lake Wobegon. Join us this week, and take the opportunity to start de-pilling your wool sweaters and socks, before the weather really changes.
