So for all us home spun that like it, Mom and I, Garrison Keillor is going to retire, but the new guy Chris Thile is been doing his spot, we think he has been doing an exelient job.
My mother will be 96 in May, and listens every Saturday evening live, then a rebroadcast at noon on Sundays. She turned me on to your show 10 years ago when I was 54, and I never miss it.
I like the last 2 shows with Chris, mom does too. I am her live in care giver and we have talked about what will happen when Garrison retires. Well it is nice how you are working in Chris, when "mother calls", now to work in the Lake Wabagon segment.
Thanks, Bob, for your email and your mentioning your Mother and the ‘MOM’ segments. Your email is being shared with our producer.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor

Last Saturday they did a live Pod Cast, I tuned it on the lab top and gave it to mom to watch and listen, she loved it, the set.
My regret was they were here in Milwaukee, WI a few years ago and wanted to take her there and she said no, she was still taking care of my father, her husband.
