A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor...

Every year around this time I get an itchy foot and find myself fidgeting. Something in the air makes me want to pack a small duffel bag and leave the city limits to be free under a wide-open sky and enjoy the breeze that is so good it must have come from heaven. Something tells me this week's show will reflect a little of that.

Official September 30, 2006 show info:

This week on a Prairie Home Companion, we travel west to Montana, land of Ponderosa Pines, Blackspotted Cutthroat Trout, and Grizzly Bears the size of compact cars. We'll be broadcasting live from the University of Montana's Adams Center, in Missoula, with featured guests including Montana Singer-Songwriter Stephanie Davis, the Manhattan Maestro Andy Stein, and other special guests to be announced this week. Also with us, The Royal Academy of Radio Acting: Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman, The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, and the News from Lake Wobegon. Join us this Saturday from Big Sky Country, where we'll turn the horses loose, "...'cause you can't ride 'em in the chute!"

If you aren't in the area or can't hit the road, fire up A Prairie Home Companion's homepage to listen to the show and enjoy the company of fellow listeners here.

You know, I can listen to APHC and not get anywhere the grief I am getting in this group. I offered my opinion and I got dissed. And the sad thing is, the person who dissed me was saying the SAME thing that I said.

So, I'm leaving this group of hypocrites. And gee, I'm sorry Garrison isn't perfect and you are all so terribly disappointed in him. He's human...after all.

Hi, mollie, if you are still reading. Perhaps the offending posts were deleted? I don't see any posts on this article ahead of yours. Stick around!

Hi Susan! I'll try to do a little detective work on it and get back to you...It is a beauty, isn't it?

I'm not sure what mollieluna is referring to (feel free to jump in and clarify)...but I will echo Jessie - I didn't see the posts. Sounds like Julia Star has.

Did anyone catch the show? I was out of town and away from a radio this weekend.

Well now, Susan, I won't chide anyone for considering a few edits ;-)

My school French fails me (note I didn't document whether or not I failed French...) what did you type, there?

Sure, bon = good, but I wasn't sure if Avoir was like a short goodbye - and considering the allergy medication I'm taking to "be clear" we're both lucky what I came up with was:

"goodbye one good day!"

Huh?! Exactly! Well, glad I asked. Thanks for clarifying. ;-)

Oh! And hey, about that radio... it is a Philco, with magnetic tuning, which sounds very technological and scientific. A search brought me to a page about Philco's history, which I'm bookmarking for later reading.
