We have been watching Prairie Home Companion radio show on DVD. It is recorded in front of a live audience in Minnesota and sent out over the radio airways every Saturday night.
Garrison Keillor hosts the show, introduces the guests, sings, and does commercials. He is most noted for telling great stories of his fictional home town of Lake Wobegon, where "all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average."
We saw a show from 1992 with singer Emmy Lou Harris with a young Vince Gill playing in her backup band. Another show featured the Everly Brothers.
The 2006 movie about the show features Keillor along with a long list of stars including Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin. Both the movie and DVDs are available for rent, great entertainment!

Keillor has also written several books and hosts The Writer's Almanac website.
