Originally broadcast from the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder bring the bluegrass melodies and lightning-fast picking, and Christine DiGiallonardo joins us to sing a few duets with the host and add her voice to our acting company. Plus: that Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Georgia's own Fred Newman; pianist and music director Rich Dworsky steers the house band (drummer Bernie Dresel, Larry Kohut on bass, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and Chris Siebold on guitar) through steamy Southern songs; and an update from Lake Wobegon.

I work in my garage every Sunday afternoon and never missed a show. I really really miss it. For NPR to erase the show is downright criminal - it's a national treasure.

Listening to this show from my early childood to present (38) has been one of my best ways to unwind and forget about the day. My fondest memories of my dad driving me around in his old stick shift chevette after he got off work and drive around listening to repeats of the show on NPR. He did that all my life. Back ten years or so I was able to take him to a movie theater live casting one of Garrison’s shows. My dad was the stoic type so I never saw him laugh or cry. Sitting there watching him belly laugh at various parts of the show was magical. Never saw him so happy before or after. He passed in ‘19 so I have Mr. Garrison Keillor’s show to keep happy memories alive.

I believe it was around 2009 that I went to see Garrison live in Bangor, Maine. I was sitting high up in the bleachers, but before the show got started he was revving up the audience and he climbed up the aisle. People were reaching out to shake hands, but when he took my hand, he held onto and gallantly bent over and kissed the top of my hand (or so it looked to the audience), it was such a special moment, thank you Garrison!!

I came across the show driving from my hometown of Altoona, PA back to Wilmington, DE on Sunday afternoons while trying to find something to listen to on the radio. Luckily WPSU would play it at 1, and when I was out of range for it, then I got into range for witf from harrisburg, which started playig it at 2, and I could listen to the whole show on my 4 hour drive home. My wife and I went to see it at the Town Hall in 2016. What a wonderful experience and I'm so happy I got to see it live, if only even once.. Thank-you GK for your whit, humor, storytelling and a wonderful way to make a 4 hour drive seem to go faster.

I usually listened to the live Saturday Night program while washing and detailing my cars before Sunday Morning Church. Because as we know cleaning is therapeutic and is next to Godliness according to Garrison. During my divorce I listened to The News From LakeWobegon 24/7 before the cancel culture took out even Garrison. My favorite episodes are when the dog came up through the ice hole with the walleye and then the cross country train trip after the mans dog died. All the best from Haymarlet VA
