TWO A Prairie Home Companion 50th Anniversary Shows next week. Join us in Moorhead, Minnesota, or at Norsk Høstfest in Minot, North Dakota. Listen to the September 21, 2013, showThis week on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor, we're revisiting a show from the Fitzgerald Theater in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota. With special guests, acoustic groove masters Väsen, minimal Motown singers (and drummer) Chic Gamine, and mandolin madman Chris Thile. Plus, the Royal Academy of Radio Actors (Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman), The Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band, and the latest News from Lake Wobegon. Listen to the show. ABOUT our GUESTS: Chris Thile made his first appearance on A Prairie Home Companion in 1996. He was 15 and had already been playing mandolin for a decade. He’d also started Nickel Creek with Sara and Sean Watkins. This Grammy winner and MacArthur “genius” grant recipient now wowing audiences worldwide. In addition to his solo career, he performs with his group Punch Brothers. Hailing from Winnipeg and Montreal, vocal quintet Chic Gamine first got together in 2007. Since then, their fresh new sound — Motown to French pop — has captivated music lovers and earned the group a Juno Award for their self-titled debut album. Among their recordings, “Light a Match.” Since forming some 35 years ago, Väsen has become Sweden’s leading acoustic trio, spreading their exciting brand of instrumental tunes to far-flung corners of the globe. As one reviewer quipped, “This music could be the most significant Swedish export since the Vikings.” Their brand-new recording, Väsen & Hawktail, drops this week. Today’s show features an ad for Rhubarb pie with a few altered lyrics. Here they are: GK: Wouldn’t this be a good time for a piece of Rhubarb Pie? Yes, nothing gets the taste of shame and humiliation out of your mouth like Bebopareebop Rhubarb Pie and Rhubarb Pie filling. ALL: R-H-U B-A-R-B Good for you and your family. Just one slice of rhubarb pie Makes you happy, my oh my. FN: Rhubarb pie, what a sensation, Eliminates the taste of humiliation. SS: When life just makes you want to cry, Bottoms up, here’s mud in your eye. ALL: Bebopareebop Rhubarb Pie. Bebopareebop Rhubarb Pie. Bebopareebop Rhubarb Pie. Bebopareebop Rhubarb Pie.

PONTOON by Garrison KeillorPontoon is nothing less than a spectacular return to form — replete with a bowling ball-urn, a hot-air balloon, giant duck decoys, a flying Elvis, and, most importantly, Wally’s pontoon boat. As the wedding of the decade approaches (accompanied by wheels of imported cheese and giant shrimp shish kebabs), the good-loving people of Lake Wobegon do what they do best: drive each other slightly crazy. Get the book. “Keillor has always been a great cataloger, equal parts Homer and Montgomery Ward, and rarely to better effect than in Pontoon.” — New York Times Book Review This is a FREE NEWSLETTER.
