Thanks, mom!

By Kate McNally on Wednesday, May 27, 2009.

My daughter went to see A Prairie Home Companion last weekend at Wolf Trap in Virginia. She got to see the Steele Sisters and Robin and Linda Williams with Garrison Keillor in a Memorial Day special. Seeing the live performance of the show reminded Maggie of home. She phoned to thank me for exposing her to public radio and especially for making A Prairie Home Companion part of our Saturday evening routine.
