Description

This week on A Prairie Home Companion, after five thousand people showed up at last week's Street Dance and Meatloaf Supper, our neighbors on Exchange Street pleaded with us to keep a somewhat lower profile. So, this week we're back indoors with legendary singer-songwriter, record producer, and brooding British balladeer,Nick Lowe. Also with us, The Royal Academy of Radio Actors:Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Tom Keith, The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, and persistent but unconfirmed rumors of aJoke Showsegment or two. Join us this Saturday for another live broadcast performance from St. Paul.
