A Prairie Home Companion for October 17, 2015
Description
This week: our host is back at the helm for a live broadcast from the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with the prodigious talents of mandolinist Chris Thile; the amazing fiddle and cello duo of Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas; and torrid ballads from singer Hilary Thavis. Plus: fresh drama and stalwart sponsors from the Royal Academy of Radio Actors - Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman; pianist and music director Rich Dworsky covers everything from boogie to Bach with The Exchange Street Band (Bernie Dresel on drums, bassist Larry Kohut, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and guitarist Chris Siebold); and two weeks of News from Lake Wobegon, the tiny town that time forgot and the decades cannot improve. Join us on the radio Saturday evening, or watch our livestream (5pm to 7pm Central Time) at prairiehome.org!
