Prairie Home Companion Etc

This has been an active weekend. We have friends from New Jersey visiting and we've done a number of short walks and had a good time with them, but the highlight of the weekend was going to Tanglewood for the Prairie Home Companion show. We were on the lawn but still got to see Garrison Keeler and Heather Massey closeup as they walked through the crowd at the start of the show. The show was broadcast live  and included Arlo Guthrie.

Hearing "City of New Orleans" at a live performance was terrific. The show began at 5:45 and officially ended at 8 PM, but the cast came back on stage and sang song after song. It was just after the third good night from Garrison Keeler at 9:45 that we headed for our car. As we walked through the parking lot, we heard the roar of the crowd as Arlo and Garrison and others came back for another round of singing. We should have gone back, but it had been a long hot day, so we got in the car and drove home.
