My Dad, in Le Sueur, Minnesota, grew rhubarb and he cooked in on the stove, in water, and added cinnamon sticks and sugar. He kept it refrigerated and enjoyed eating it cold. We all liked it.

What a great singing voice garrison has. These days it only takes a few whinny people to ruin a series of fun stories for the rest of us. If you do not want to listen then don’t. If you don’t like To Kill A Mockingbird or James and the Giant Peach then don’t but do not take these stories away from the rest of us. Being a supporter of NPR I am disappointed that the station cancelled this show.

He was done in by the Me-Too movement. You know … the one that destroyed many people and that you don’t hear anything about anymore.

What an incredibly poignant and moving episode Hog Slaughter was. You can feel the emotion in his voice like never before. Bravo.

The appeal extends beyond America. I'm in Scotland and I love these stories. Reminds me of the characters in the small town where I grew up in the 1960s/70s.

Any idea who the artist is .I love these little street scenes they were also used on some of Garrisons books if I'm not mistaken.

Can anyone identify for me the last bit of music the piano plays at the the end of The Royal Family segment? It sounds familiar and obviously has a lilt to it but what and whose is it? Any ideas?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. Thanks for listening!

@joeanderson8839 3 ай бұрын

I'm not sure. But I believe it to be an original composition of the piano player of the show. I always think this about music I hear that moves me like this piece does. I've never heard it before. But it sounds so hauntingly familiar. He must have written it himself. ❤

@mikhailfaisman5287 8 ай бұрын

Do you mean to say that your family had some relation to the Rhubarb "industry"? Could you please elaborate on that, because I can't connect the dots in this and the two previous comments.

@larrypahl5756 8 ай бұрын

@@mikhailfaisman5287 yes. elaboration involves much detail; much of readers time potential may be spent on trivia/‘ancient’ history. Over a hundred yrs ago Pahl Farm (2,000)) acres: present day Bloomington, present day Native American redevelopment. Winter (white) rhubarb was fostered in root cellars on Pahl Farm. the twin cities fed from Pahl Truck Farms from 1800s-c.1984. Rhubarb was so closely associated with Pahl that Coach nicknamed many of the cousins “rhubarb.” which was also a slang for ‘error’; as in baseball.

@@larrypahl5756 I've never had rhubarb, though I've had the opportunity. It seems so odd that something that looks like magenta celery would be a tasty dessert.
