A Prairie Home Companion for December 12, 2015
Description
This week: we complete a trifecta of live broadcasts from The Town Hall in New York City, as our traveling staff thrills to the abundance of big-city holiday shops and vendors. It's a reunion of sorts, with Keb' Mo', The DiGiallonardo Sisters, and Heather Masse joining the host, as they did at Tanglewood a couple summers ago. It was quite the deal. Mr. Mo' ambles in from Nashville with homemade tunes and a soulful voice that convinces you everything he's saying is true. Heather puts the hammer down on the sedan from upstate to sing, act, and harmonize as an honorary DiGiallonardo sister. Hopping the D train from Brooklyn, The Sisters hold their sibling harmonies all the way to the theater, where they'll release them in all their glory. Plus: a throng of characters from our Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman; pianist and music director Rich Dworsky leads The December Boys band (Bernie Dresel on drums, bassist Larry Kohut, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and guitarist Chris Siebold); and the latest News from Lake Wobegon, where the Lutheran Church is adjusting to a new pastor - again. Tune in on your local public radio station or watch live (5pm to 7pm Central Time) at prairiehome.org, and we'll see you again this Saturday evening.
