I love Prarie Home and Garrison, and this is a great collection. However, it is all music and Tales from Lake Wobegon - none of the other sketches or comedy routines I was hoping for. So, no complaints about what's on the four CDs - just complaints about what's not! I will try one of the other anniversary collections!
Truly some of the best of A Prairie Home Companion that I have ever heard. "The Perfect Day" is a personal favorite, and "Calling My Children Home" hits the heartstrings each time I hear it. I have checked this out from the local library so many times, I think I need to purchase a copy for them to replace the worn out tapes! And it's now time for me to get the CD version, and keep it for good! Heaven's it's tasty!
This book must have been a gift but I don't really remember purchasing it. My husband and his brother-in-law really enjoy listening to the Prairie Home Companion on the radio so this book was probably to compliment the enjoyment of that radio show. They pass books back and forth.
Color me displeased. I bought this for Julia, Lover's Waltz, Pioneer Waltz and some other items from my cassette and lo and behold they have been removed from this package. I still give it 5 stars overall because it is PHC but this is a warning for others. Ok, I am editing this as I just noticed a change... They added a table of contents... FROM THE TAPE. Removing content from one edition to another and then advertising the earlier more complete edition makes this just plain wrong.
The discs arrived in pristine condition. It's a great collection of his best stories. I'm looking forward to listening to Keillor's stories in the kitchen with my family while we're making Thanksgiving dinner. There was a bit of a mix-up at first with the delivery, but even with that, the set arrived quickly and in just the condition advertised. I'd certainly order from this seller again--especially anything more by Keillor!
If you only buy one CD (or set) of Lake Wobegon stories, this is the one. The classics are all here and they never grow old. The "Lake Superior Canyon Project" still cracks me up after all of these years.
My sister loves Garrison Keillor so I thought I'd take a chance and get this to listen to. I've only listened to the 1st CD, so can't say much about the rest. I didn't care much for it. I've heard him before so I know that there are some that are really great. Since I'm more of a newcomer to this, I'll give this to my sis, unless I find something better on the 2nd CD. My family are native Minnesotans, so I'm hoping they'll like it more than me.....
Garrison keeler is at his best when he is telling these stories which he is best known for. Radio shows are way before my time and this was sort of an "acquired taste" for me. Now I can't get enough of him. I can listen to this over and over. It is very comforting and, as others have said, excellent on the road!
