It is often said that Thomas Kinkade's claim to fame is as the "Painter of Light", if so, then it can be rightly said that Garrison Keillor's is as the "Word-painter of Mirth".With his mellifluous voice, flawless delivery, and master story-telling style, Mr. Keillor once again delivers with his Four Seasons tableau... especially with this single, fourth disc: "Winter".This compact disc contains in it's five stories humourous, (sometimes nostalgic) samplings of all that is Winter: the crisp cold air, crunchy snow beneath one's boots, the excitement of an anticipated blizzard, the comaraderie of ice-fishing with buddies, as well as the deeper, emotional life-lessons that the Christmas season so often inspire.The artwork is beautiful and the folio alone is a delight in itself.This offering will leave you filled with the kind of heartwarming mirth that glows from within, like hot cocoa on a cold December afternoon... shared with a very funny friend.These tales, told in Keillor's well-known reflective, recollective style are monologues from original live broadcasts from his trademark "News from Lake Wobegon".The stories are for everyone:Those of us who live and/or grew-up in the Great Snowy North (you know, walking barefoot to school and back, through 3 feet of snow ...always uphill, BOTH ways!)They're for others, too. Those who prefer their Winters on the warmer side... Equally enjoying these stories, without having to shovel the driveway!* * * * * * *CD Contents:1. "Guys On Ice" (05:21). 01.15.19832.
