   This week on A Prairie Home Companion, we revisit a few shows we did with a brass enhanced Guy's All-Star Shoe Band. From our St. Louis show last year, we'll hear songstress and minister's daughter, Erin Bode, as well as horn players Dave Bargeron, Kathy Jensen and Jon-Erik Kellso (affectionately known as The Shoe Horns). And from a Memorial Day show at Wolf Trap, we'll hear more from the beefed up band, plus The Wailin' Jennys, poet Billy Collins, and The Royal Academy of Radio Actors: Tim Russell, Sue Scott, Tom Keith and Fred Newman. Requires Adobe Flash plug-in. See how to listen. RealAudio | | | |

An Interview with Heather Masse
In a 2009 interview, Heather Masse tells us about her earliest influences, auditioning in a women's bathroom, and a few memorable moments from A Prairie Home Companion.
Old Sweet Songs: A Prairie Home Companion 1974-1976
Lovingly selected from the earliest archives of A Prairie Home Companion, this heirloom collection represents the music from earliest years of the now legendary show: 1974–1976. With songs and tunes from jazz pianist Butch Thompson, mandolin maestro Peter Ostroushko, Dakota Dave Hull and the first house band, The Powdermilk Biscuit Band (Adam Granger, Bob Douglas and Mary DuShane).
