A Prairie Home Companion for February 13, 2016
Description
This week: The Old Scout is back at the mic for a live broadcast from the Fitzgerald Theater on Exchange Street in Saint Paul, Minnesota. We'll have high-octane bluegrass from Della Mae, up from Nashville by way of Boston; crisp country sounds from local heroes The Cactus Blossoms; and a few duets with the host from Heather Masse and Christine DiGiallonardo. Plus: the Royal Academy of Radio Actors - Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman - will be on hand for scripts and scenes about winter life in Minnesota; music director and pianist Rich Dworsky conducts our rock'n'roll radio orchestra (Bernie Dresel on drums, bassist Larry Kohut, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and Chris Siebold, guitar); and we'll have an update on two weeks' worth of happenings and News from Lake Wobegon. Join us over the airwaves or watch live (Saturday, 5pm Central) at prairiehome.org!
