Over the River
November 21, 2009 This week on A Prairie Home Companion, we're heading over the river to broadcast live from the historic State Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We'll welcome some very special guests: country-music's beloved singer/songwriter Steve Wariner, and the ever-versatile, always vivacious Nellie McKay. Prepare to have your heart-strings tugged & your funny-bones tickled. Also with us: our good friend Andra Suchy, the Royal Academy of Radio Actors: Tim Russell, Sue Scott and sound effects man Mr. Tom Keith, The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, plus the latest News from Lake Wobegon.Listening Information» | ||||
