A Prairie Home Companion for December 19, 2015
Description
This week: we're back in St. Paul for a live broadcast from our home base, the Fitzgerald Theater, and we're hoping to see at least one hardy snowflake before the 25th rolls around. We'll have plenty of holiday festivities, including songs from our friends Maria Jette and Lynn Peterson, who might even join the host on a few carols, and our friend Adam Granger will stop in with his guitar and a song or two. We'll also showcase the sounds of the season with a selection of rare music boxes and pump organs; our Royal Academy of Radio Actors - Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman will be on-hand to spread good cheer; pianist and music director Rich Dworsky and the band (Bernie Dresel on drums, bassist Larry Kohut, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and guitarist Chris Siebold) will provide a soundtrack for a winter's eve that's sure to be out of sight; and we'll get an update on the very latest News from Lake Wobegon, where everyone's in the holiday spirit despite weeks of unseasonably warm weather. It's all going down Saturday at 5pm Central Time - find us on your local public radio station or watch live at prairiehome.org!
