THIS SIDE OF WABASHA
This week on A Prairie Home Companion a mix of two shows we did from the Fitzgerald Theater with Stephanie Davis, Becky Schlegel, fiddler Stuart Duncan, and old-time icon Mike Seeger on the Jaw Harp. Martin Sheen makes his singing debut, Nick Lowe sings "Long Limbed Girl", and in Lake Wobegon there's been trouble brewing over the large concrete walleyes on display in the Magandantz's yard. Plus in The Story of Bob, Bob enters the Municipal Art Contest with his sculpture called "The Enormous Chairs." Sit down and take a load off for a special show from St. Paul's radio paradise, The Fitz.
