A Prairie Home Companion for October 3, 2015

Keep Your Head Up
DateOctober 3, 2015VenueFrom Fitzgerald Theater | Saint Paul, MNDuration01:58:59HostGarrison Keillor

Description

This week: it's a live broadcast from our base camp at the Fitzgerald Theater on Exchange Street in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The California Honeydrops ward off the autumn chill with smokin' Bay Area R&B, and The Cactus Blossoms sing their sweet songs in sibling harmony. Christine DiGiallonardo adds a touch of Brooklyn to scripts and duets with the host; and Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman, our Royal Academy of Radio Actors, render historic events like never before. Pianist and music director Rich Dworsky has The Exchange Street Band (Bernie Dresel on drums, bassist Larry Kohut, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and guitarist Chris Siebold) firing on all cylinders, and our fearless leader is quietly gathering the latest News from Lake Wobegon. Point your receiver down to the public radio end of the dial or watch the show live (Saturday, 5pm to 7pm CT) at prairiehome.org!
