The Christmas Companion CD

The first new Prairie Home Christmas collection in ten years is a warm and wonderful celebration of storytelling, music, and the holiday spirit. It?s Christmas in Lake Wobegon, Christmas at the old radio show, Christmas at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Christmas wherever friends and families gather to rejoice, reminisce, and share the holiday spirit. This all-new collection includes songs, sketches, sound effects, laughter, sweet nostalgia, and a monologue or two, all with a Christmas theme and all heard originally on live broadcasts of "A Prairie Home Companion." Garrison Keillor, the show?s cast, and special guests are joined by hundreds of friends and acquaintances in a holiday gala that?s sure to become a family favorite and an annual tradition. Renee Fleming, Diana Krall, Ricky Skaggs, and Sarah Jessica Parker are on hand to sing. Santa drops by to talk about his business plan, and Guy Noir goes undercover at an office Christmas party. And Garrison Keillor reminisces about memorable holidays, including the one when the dark angel of stomach flu visited on Christmas Eve. 2 hours on 2 cassettes or 2 CDsRead More
