A Prairie Home Companion for December 15, 2007 from American Public Media

December 15, 2007
This week on A Prairie Home Companion, we've got five concertinas, four melodeons, three button boxes, two tin whistles, and a partridge in a pear tree. Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver are riding their 18-wheel sleigh in from East Tennessee, and the Boys of the Lough will make a chilly North Atlantic crossing for our final show at the Town Hall. Also with us, The Guy's All Star Shoe Band with Pat Donohue, Arnie Kinsella, Gary Raynor, Andy Stein, and maestro Richard Dworsky, The Royal Academy of Radio Acting: Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman, and the News from Lake Wobegon. It's all coming up this week on A Prairie Home Companion.
