A Prairie Home Companion for April 16, 2016
Description
This week: it's The Town Hall for our third and final spring broadcast from New York City. Master mandolinist, and future host, Chris Thile adds touches and premieres an ode to Miss Manhattan; John Fullbright is up from Oklahoma with songs of dreams and longing; Aoife O'Donovan wraps her American tour on a high note (several actually); and Christine DiGiallonardo bridges Broadway and Bensonhurst. Plus: wise and mysterious horseplay from The Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman; pianist and music director Richard Dworsky with the vigilant house band (Bernie Dresel on drums, bassist Larry Kohut, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and Chris Siebold on guitar); and the host has the latest News from Lake Wobegon. Tune in on your local public radio station or watch live (5pm to 7pm Central Time, Saturday) at prairiehome.org!
