Ane Evening with Garrison Keillor
Blue grass music and songs from the legendary Carter Family were part of Garrison

author, humorist and creator of Public Radio's A Prairie Home Companion, Keillor
was at his best spinning his stories of life as he saw it and lived it. At 75, he was
reflective on growing old...ranting that retirement was a curse that aged you even

transported you back to his radio days and his classic Mid-West roots. He is a
modern day Mark Twain armed with a sharp wit and a radio microphone reflecting a

writer is to be remembered for one thing he said or wrote like. "....where all the
