Once More from the Top
The Derailers
May 18, 2013
This week on A Prairie Home Companion, while the 1978 Winnebago is being tuned up for the remainder of our live broadcast season, we'll rebroadcast this season's opener from The Fitzgerald Theater. The Derailers bring a little Texas honky tonk to Minnesota with "She Left Me Cold," Ira Glass appears in an episode of Guy Noir as a fugitive named Irwin Krpsntzch, Jearlyn and Jevetta Steele bring the house down with "Soothe Me," and Garrison and Holly Jones sing "Duquesne Whistle." In Lake Wobegon, Mr. Lofgren's orchard produces an exceptional harvest of his "Julia" apples.

Boredom and Terror, and Sweetness (May. 14, 2013)
Listened to the show Saturday and it was not bad. It's warming up out there and I had the radio going while I did some yard work, mostly cleaning up sticks from the willow tree and putting landscaping rocks in...
First Word (Mar. 25, 2013)
First word typed on this spanking new machine is the one at the beginning of this very piece: "First." Just out of the box; what you are reading here is the virgin paragraph. (For whatever that's worth these days.) (Said...
