A Prairie Home Companion for June 11, 2016
Description
This week: we're live from theRavinia Festivalin Highland Park, Illinois, home of some of the most well-crafted picnic spreads you'll ever see. Our friend and future hostChris Thilejoins us as a guest once again with a few mandolin licks sure to amaze and astound, and maybe even a new song or two; pianistJeremy Denkheads in for a program of artful classical pieces; and singerHeather Masseis back for ballads, bluegrass, and duets. Plus: our Royal Academy of Radio Actors,Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman; and pianist and music directorRichard Dworskyhas our house band (drummer Bernie Dresel, Larry Kohut on bass,Richard Kriehnon mandolin and fiddle, and guitarist Chris Siebold) in top form. All that, and an update on the latest News from Lake Wobegon, and we'll have two hours of radio as fine as you'll find anywhere on the public airwaves. See you on your local station this Saturday evening.
