Listen
(THEME)
SS: Merry Christmas, big brother.
TR: Wow, thank you Julie. (UNWRAPPING, WATER TRICKLING). Hey. Wait a second. Isn't this the tabletop zen garden with imitation Himalayan rock formations I gave you for Christmas last year?
(A LONG BEAT)
SS: Is it?
TR: Um, yes it is. You left the card on it. Merry Christmas Julie, from your big brother Mark, Christmas 2006.
SS: What? Who put that there?
GK: Don't let this happen to you. Bring your unwanted gifts to the ReGifting Warehouse. We specialize in laundering unwanted holiday gifts. Just turn yours in, trade it in for something of equal or lesser value, and regift in style. At the ReGifting Warehouse.

The soundtrack to Robert Altman's take on Garrison Keillor's radio show features 25 songs. If you are an avid A Prairie Home Companion listener, you know what to expect: a delightful mix of music and fun by APHC regulars including the Guy's All Star Shoe Band, Robin & Linda Williams and Jearlyn Steele, among others, plus some amazing music by a diverse slate of guest performers. Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin duet as the singing Johnson sisters on "My Minnesota Home" and "Goodbye to my Mama." Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly appear as Dusty and Lefty, the singing cowboys, and warble "Whoopi Ti Yi Yo" and the crowd pleasing but crusty song "Bad Jokes." Lindsay Lohan delivers "Frankie and Johnny".
