40th anniversary of Radio Variety show -- updated for the 21st century listeners

from PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION website: This week on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor, we're celebrating the 40th Anniversary of our very first show at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota with a festival and a special three-hour live broadcast. We'll have a host of rock'n'roll, blues, folk, soul, and country musicians on hand, plus, a few big sing-alongs, the Old Regulars of the Powdermilk Biscuit Band, the Royal Academy of Radio Actors, an extra-wide version of The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, and the latest News from Lake Wobegon. Join us in-person, on the radio, and online for a whole weekend of family fun, stories, and songs! http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/2014/07/05/ _______________ A Prairie Home Companion on Twitter A Prairie Home Companion on Instagram A Prairie Home Companion on Tumblr
