Wow - yesterday I went to Town Hall to see a live performance (a repeat of which is being aired as I type on WNYC-AM here in NYC) of "A Prairie Home Companion" (that's Garrison Keillor in the photo). Not only was it great radio, but it was wonderful to watch in person. They operate like a smooth running machine, going from skit to musical performance to storytelling without a hitch. I was quite impressed with the professionalism as well as of course the talent. The guy who makes the sounds is great - he's quite an artist and now as I'm hearing it on the radio rather than watching him frantically make sounds and noises of birds and trains and clanking dishes with both his voice and various devices I appreciate it even better. The most amazing this was that Garrison Keillor looks exactly like a huge friend of mine from college whose name was Donald B. Kovaleski. He played the part of the policeman in the college production of Arsenic and Old Lace, but unfortunately I don't think he stayed in the arts.
